Things to notice and remember:
When you catch or see a moth you will automatically notice various things - it helps if you also remember them.

• The pattern, if it is at all dramatic or just a plain colour,
     mottled or barred.
• What shape it is - 'Concorde', long and thin,
     butterfly-shaped with wings outstretched, scalloped edges
     and so on.
• You will already know when and where you are seeing it.
     So, remember these two things as part of helping you to
     identify the moth.
• How big it is or how small.
