Welcome to the Critters Page
(Moths Great and Small)

Many of the images on the linked pages are shown on those pages at 70% reduced scale.
If you wish to see such images larger, right-click on the image and choose the View Image item.
Most of the larger specimen images have been reduced to 1/2 or 1/3 actual scanned size.
Full, 300 or 600 dpi images are available if you will email me and specify file format desired.
Some of the images have 1 inch and 1 cm lines to show scale.
Many thanks to Roger Kendrick for help in identification of the Hong Kong moths!
