Trichromia sp.
This moth is about 1" long and 3/4" wide. I spotted him at night near an HID lamp at the street
Tropical dry forest in NW Costa Rica 7 weeks into the 6 month dry season
What a beautiful moth ! I look forward to the day I'll hopefully see a beauty like this...great spotting !
I can only imagine. Here where I live, there are a fair number of moths: even now in the dead of winter's cold we get one or two by the porch light
I have been shooting at night for two weeks for an hour or so and only had the opportunity to see this guy once. I rarely see the same bugs over and over again. Each night holds new possibilities and that has been keeping me coming back!
don't be sorry...one of these days you are going to enjoy the naming of some new species with me!
Thanks Karen, Bayucca I couldn't find one photo of an exact match on pattern anywhere.
