No problem, I've added my moths to the mission.
The first photo looks like it is playing dead! They do that whenever handled, and it is quite convincing! Could you add this and your other moths to my mission, Moths of the Americas? Thanks! http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8841449
Thanks for the ID dandoucette!
