Excellent
These are great, Lynette. I especially like that you've done multiple examples for the larger groups, like Noctuidae. I hope you put these in as thumbnails in the identification section of the moths page, with links to the families adjacent, something like:
Sessidae
There are more elegant ways to do this with plain old html, but I'm not sure one can implement them here.

oh man,
I have a feeling I am about to sound very stupid, but I don't know what the identification section of the moths page is. I am however doing an article with all of the silhouettes on one page.

It's no big deal...
Moth Guide Page
currently does not have much there. One could go in and edit the guide page, and insert thumbnails of your silhouettes there. But an article serves a very good purpose as well--a place to go over that stuff with everybody else. Lots of room for comments and multiple drafts. That's a good place for it.
Maybe after everyone has "debugged" your silhouette guide, somebody might put the thumbnails and links on that guide page. Certainly go ahead and do your article--I think that is an excellent idea.

Ok
Now I know what you're talking about. I knew that was there....just didn't call it that, and didn't think about putting images on it. But that's a good idea.
