      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. Posted 4 years ago

        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

        Agreed. I understand there are an estimated 27 thousand species in Colombia so we have only 26 thousnd to go.
