I found these two moths in my backyard, in the middle of the lawn. Are they mating? They move when disturbed but not otherwise. I'm worried they'll get eaten by a bird or trampled by my dog so I'd like to move them to a safer place. Is that advisable? I'd also like to get some good macro shots but not if my moving them will hurt them. Can anyone tell me what they are and if I can move them?
