  Thanks! I love the 88s/89s. The inter Andean valleys don't have as many species as the lowlands, but this is a particularly nice one that I often see in the north. Posted one year ago

    It's incredible. I think there's also one (or maybe more?) "fake" 88 genuses? Posted one year ago

      Haha well the members of this genus, Perisama, are sometimes called vague numberwings! Posted one year ago
