    Its gorgeous. I'm annoyed that I can't even find a direction in the species ID. Posted 4 years ago

              No prob ;). I searched forever on iNat and online, looking for a white Saturniid that didn't have tails. I finally gave up and realized it was probably a Geometrid. I went to the moths of Costa Rica website, and one of the first moths under 'Geometridae' was this one, lol. I could have saved myself an hour if I had checked that first. ;P Posted 4 years ago

                I saw that after you identified it. I've posted it there too as I saw reports of it in Colombia. Posted 4 years ago

          No problem, Peter! We love repeats <3. It's important to see abundance of a species and also seasonality. Posted 4 years ago
