Moth Trap

Dug out the moth trap couple of days ago and the results are pictured below, I must admit moths and butterflies are not not my forte and have a tendency to favour the larger and more impressive of both species.
One of the above hawks I was unable to identify, as near as I could ascertain the conclusion was that it was a Lime Hawk.
The leopard moth as I understand from my reference book not very common in Kent.
The Skylark was taken at RSPB Elmley.

    Looks like getting the moth trap out was a good decision. Great photo's. I agree with your i.d. of the Leopard Moth, but as for the Lime Moth? I think it is a Eyed Hawk Moth.

      My id book is not the best but thanks for the correction, moths are reallt not my forte and really only like the spectacular variety.
