  1. I feel like we've seen this species before in your Colombia shots...? Maybe?

    Here is a similar species, but alas - no ID:

      1. I'm embarrassed, but not surprised, my memory is garbage. Thanks! Posted 6 years ago
        1. Eh, no prob. Although, I wish I had realized before that you had a Moths of Columbia list. I flipped through all 762 pics with the tag "Colombia 2018" to find this match! It would have been much faster to look at the moth list! Posted 6 years ago
          1. I feel your pain, the larger my set gets, the harder it becomes to find things, even when being pretty structured in sharing. It's far out so don't get your hopes up, but ultimately we must have these features:

            - Partial identifications
            - A species tree not just at site level, also on country and personal level

            The combination of these two things should make it far easier to find things. I'm most excited about a species tree at personal level, that will be a true game changer.
