Butterflies and SkippersMoths!
Hi,
I came across your website whilst trying to identify these moths, my husband is currently working aboard a ship in Brazil and these little guys hitched a ride!
From the info you have on the site I think I am right in saying that possibly 3 of the moths are the Black Witch even though they vary in colour a little bit..?? I have no idea about the rest but they are all big moths from 6 – 8 inches across. Best wishes from

Hi Elaine
All but one of your images are of moths. The image labeled Moth 6 is actually a Monarch Butterfly, justifiably known as The Wanderer. We agree that several images appear to be Black Witches or closely related species. Moths 4 and 5 are two different species of Sphinx Moths.
