Well bayucca, free accommodations, million of Moths (and stars, birds, insects, etc.), all you need is....to take some time to come and enjoy it...(the hardest part!!!) : o ; )

Please do not forget! The most important instrument is your EYE!! And YOUR pleasure! And I can tell you how frustrated I am not being in my beloved Costa Rica at the beginning of moth time! ¡Pura Vida!

I understand your frustration. I have a small camera and it is really frustrating too. But, you have so many beautiful pictures and I really enjoy looking at them. Thank you so much for sharing with us.

Thank you, RiekoS, it is very small but very attractive. I have seen them bigger but moth time is starting here in Costa Rica right now and some are actually so minute I can not even take pictures of them (I am an amateur photographer) : (

What a beautiful moth!

You need an IDea, tenacity and luck ;-)...
Gilma Jeannette Ospino Ferreira-Norman
No....I do not ...Nature, animals, insects, etc are my "hobby". One need to be much more knowledgeable to go there!? : ) Thank you bayucca, you are the best!!

Thank you for the ID, bayucca. I do not especially like EOL, and I can not find it anywhere else! so I am just going to go for what you said, thank you again.
