i usually catch them using a glass container and a piece of paper(cover the moth with the open end of the container and slide the paper under it so that the moth will fly into the container). Move it to a better light and suitable surface and remove the paper. Wait till the moth rests on the surface u want and remove the container.. Voila!
PS: some time they will just fly away while u r adjusting the focus! in that case bad luck.. better luck next time!

Nope, my moths are not so well-behaved. :) So I will just enjoy seeing the one's you catch.
Good luck.

How do you manage to pose your moths on the table...mine are always spotted at such difficult angles! :)
