We had a particulary dark night a few evenings ago and there were lots of moths fluttering about, even the gecko was getting a feast. I took some pictures and got them identified by the helpful forum that I go on Iberian Nature Forum.
They are not the moths that im used to that are just brown and quite dull to look at. They are as follows:-
Striped Hawkmoth (Hyles livornica)
Small Blood-vein (Scopula imitaria)
Purple Marbled (Eublemma ostrina)
Leopard Moth (Zeuzera pyrina)
