Moths and Butterflies, Bulgaria, Spring 2023

Managed to get the travel LED moth trap out a few nights in Kamen Bryag, Shipka and Kresna. It was very quiet at Kamen Bryag as the days and nights were very cool and windy but we had better conditions at Kresna.

Here's a few photos below and some preliminary identifications.
