            Yes, sorry! I should have clarified in the post -- any moth (egg, larva, pupa, or adult) photos that you have taken, but not shared on JungleDragon previously, are welcome! So, moths from months or years ago count too. Posted 3 years ago

      Agree! Ferdy shot this photo in Colombia ~4 years ago. It's one of my favorite moth photos on JungleDragon! Posted 3 years ago

      Definitely a respectable number, especially considering only a handful of people participated! We only got 238 last year, so this was a slight improvement.Then, there was 374 in 2020 and 332 in 2019. Posted 3 years ago

        It all adds up and even after moth week, they keep coming. I'm wondering if we can break 5,000 leps this year :) Posted 3 years ago

          Added 20+ after Moth Week which I originally intended to add during, but was not able to due to lack of internet access in the last few days :( Posted 3 years ago

            Thanks for that. It's really no issue, moth week is a nice booster, but if shared a little later the increased quantity still stands. Posted 3 years ago

          5,000 by January?! Totally doable, especially with Albert's endless supply of new species. :) Posted 3 years ago
