      Thank you. This just shows me to not let any opportunity get to waste. After a 14 hour day, I made a poor attempt only at some moths (there were hundreds), not giving it full attention. Back home I always regret it, it's not often you'd find yourself in such a remote place. Posted 7 years ago

      Thanks! Looks like I photographed it later on and did get it ID-ed there, yet did not go back to realize this earlier shot is the same species. I have a terrible memory. Posted 6 years ago
