July 2011 Moths

All these moths were seen here in Dumfries and Galloway during July 2011. Most were caught in a moth trap in our garden. some were just attracted to the window light and others in the garden or surrounding countryside.

I have named them the best I can, if anyone spots a mistake or can name any of the unidentified, please let me know.
