Thanks to my friend she researched what it was and gave me your blog. It is by far the biggest moth I have ever seen. It is bigger than some of my hummingbird friends I have flying around here. A magnificent creature!c4peacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02790368083215189536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4533740979429003976.post-69796245205421188832010-10-12T11:32:39.793-07:002010-10-12T11:32:39.793-07:00Thanks much Chris for the moth IDs and pointers.

And, ...Love to see someone else discovering moths! And, you take some great photos of them too. One quick ID note, your Apentesis proxima is actually Grammia behrii - a much rarer moth! <br /><br />Actually your taxonomy is a wee bit out of date in general (I see from Powell's old book). Great book, but you should get his new one out on bookshelves in 2009! In the meantime, explore the Moth Photographers Group: http://mothphotographersgroup.msstate.edu<br /><br />I'd post more links, but would probably get flagged as spam - but I have a handful of resources on my own blog. <br /><br />Happy blogging, and look forward to seeing more moths!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4533740979429003976.post-46028565981215628082010-10-07T08:16:12.415-07:002010-10-07T08:16:12.415-07:00Thanks all!Thanks all!randomtruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01941027847362672057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4533740979429003976.post-84269897729689090022010-10-03T14:38:12.173-07:002010-10-03T14:38:12.173-07:00Mindo is also an amazing herp destination.
