Collage showing insects attracted to light and automatically imaged 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours and 6 hours after sunset in Aranda, ACT, Australia on the night of 2 to 3 Nov 2025. The image includes four smaller images collected around the listed times. Each image shows a section of sheet with a variable number of insects attracted to UV and visible light. Number and variety depends on time of year and conditions during the given night. The image is also labeled with basic details of the associated weather and moon phase. For more explanation of the Automated Moth Trap project visit https://amt.hobern.net/ and https://www.flickr.com/photos/dhobern/albums/72177720322426621.

A 2.5cm arrowhead shaped moth on a finger. It is a striking mosaic of sage green and black. It has two wiry antennae pointing left and right. It's wings are slightly blurred in the bottom corners as it is vibrating to warm up in preparation for takeoff.

This is what happens when you have your macro lens set for good depth of field so even though it's bright it was only on a shutter speed of 1/320 and a freakin' HUMMINGBIRD CLEARWING comes by! So fast! Zip zip and gone....but the first one I've seen here so I'm really excited! Yes the exposure is off, I was take photos on the flowers in the shade and it picked one in the sun so yeah I could have whacked up the shutter speed if I had more than a split second to focus and go before it left...So an overexposed purple coneflower and a half blurred black white orange and olive green moth.

A day flying moth! "Yellow Collared Scape Moth" whatever the heck that means. What's a scape? I don't know. Yellow? Goldenrod is yellow but it seems like it's an orange collar to me. Someone messed up with this name. Ah well. Really enjoying the goldenrod though!

Buckeye butterflies with their cheery purple and orange dots and splots on my purple coneflowers. There were actually *five* all kinda fighting for the best spots and they kept having aerial fights! Or...maybe fending off sexual advances too. Hard to tell sometimes, haha!

Side on shot of a 4-5mm moth about the size of a grain of cooked rice. It faces left. It is three times as long as it is high and it holds its wings tight against its abdomen in a tented position making it look almost tubular. Its scales are a distinct marble pattern of blue, gold and rust in a very metallic sheen, each blotch edged in white. It has a small dark tuft sticking up just behind its head and an antennae which it holds close to its flank.
