    1. Looks like a bulls-eye, let's go for it. All credit to you! Posted 4 years ago
      1. Isn't it nice to be able to ID some of these beauties! Posted 4 years ago
        1. Yes, makes me so happy each time we manage to ID one, which is why Peter should include more easy ones.

          with 3,500+ Leps documented and this Colombia list getting close to 1,000 entries, we got a nice thing going.

          1. Haha -- yes! More easy ones please. Although, I love the challenging ones too, but get impatient waiting and hoping that a moth expert will chime in with the correct IDs. Posted 4 years ago
            1. Ha ha more easy ones indeed. Posted 4 years ago
          2. Agreed. I understand there are an estimated 27 thousand species in Colombia so we have only 26 thousnd to go.
