Ghana 2019 Moths

We did a bit of moth trapping on this trip but mainly concentrated on birds and butterflies, mainly because we don't have many resources to identify the moths. However got a few here to try and identify to get us started. I've been recommended this website by Martin Honey AFRICAN MOTHS so will try and make a start. 
 Oleander Hawkmoth 
 Tiger moth sp 
 Silk moth sp 



Walker's Owl Moth, Erebus walkeri
Dysgonia species

Hi Peter,

the tiger moth seems to be Phaegorista cf. agaristoides
