Yeah, I've had the same happen to me. I search and find my own photo! I will definitely let you know whatever she helps me ID. I know you're just as eager to find out what they are as I am.

What's really frustrating is when I find photos of some of them online but there also looking for id's - or it turns out to be your photo! haha Hopefully she can clear up some of them for you!

Me too! Will they ever get an ID? I found a co-worker at the butterfly conservatory would said she would be interested to help me ID some of them. I emailed her about 10 unknown species about a week ago. I'm still waiting to hear back from her but hopefully she has some luck with them. The have a huge database and collection and reference materials there so I'm very hopeful.

Haha - at least with the north american ones- some of your more exotic ones frustrate me!

Thanks for searching Ashish but yes, Amber nailed it (again!). Where have you been all my life Amber! Hahahaha! You're definitely my 'go to' member for any Lepidotera.
