Remote life - night moth in Tsingy cave Tsingy is a very remote place in itself, accessing the remote water-edged caves in this remote place, and then still spotting life inside the cave feels special. I am unsure of the species of this moth or butterfly, just that it was living in complete darkness and is fairly large, about the size of a children's hand.
