I think so too, but can't find a match. There's a slight chance it could be Crambidae/Pyraloidea. Posted 2 years ago

  While I was searching, I came across these lists:

  https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/mariposas-de-colombia-butterflies-of-colombia?tab=species
  
  The butterfly list includes moths, as well. Posted 2 years ago

    That's interesting. I was wondering how this project is different from just directly querying iNat with a location filter but I think "moths" are not a real single taxon, so a manual compilation is indeed useful. Thanks for sharing! Posted 2 years ago

      I'm not sure, but I assume you would find a lot more moths by searching Lepidoptera by location or family by location. Those projects have good amounts of observations, but not a lot of people contributing. Posted 2 years ago, modified 2 years ago
