A good friend of mine spent 10 days in southern Ecuador assisting
his brother on a hospital mission some years ago. At night, they
would "do a walkabout" checking local buildings with overhead lights
to see what would come in. He made some really nice captures !
These pictures highlight some of his "best" BIG captures which were
just "resting under the porch light" just like moths here do...
Rhescyntis hermes (male)
Rhescyntis hermes (female)
Arsenura sp.
Titaea lemoulti (male)
The first 3 photos are of (singular) but, really great condition specimens
that he encountered. The 4th photo is a species which he says he collected
around a dozen individuals of however, the one in the photo is the only truly
good example he had of the lot !
