Moth Night

One evening this past March ...


... I did a bit of mothing.


Yet try as I might ...


... I've not identified a single one.


Zippo, Nada, None.


You can see they are rather distinctive.


So you'd think it would be easy.


I mean, ...


... I should at least get a couple.


Or even just one.


But nope.


All my reference works ...


... and online resources have failed me.


Of course, I was in Ecuador at the time. And the only reference work I could fine is the series Butterflies and Moths of Ecuador, which has at least twenty volumes. The most recent of which is volume 10A, which is only £78.99, plus shipping (from England).

So I guess I'll just be enjoying the pretty pictures of moth sp.
