Thanks Mark. It IS amazing, San Cristobal is a paradise for moths. I want to document all of them that I can. I worry about the over population and the destruction of the environment here.. Maybe someday, only photos of them will remain. I am trying to get the shopping center to change the type of lights they use in the parking lot. Thousands of moths die there, squashed by cars and kids and the bats have a monumental feast there every night.
Your supply of interesting moths seems endless :)
