Not exactly Cheshire but ......

Not exactly Cheshire but ......:

I thought folks may be interested to see some of the moths we encountered in Northern Venezuela in 2006. These were all found under a single street lamp in the middle of some fine lowland rainforest - there were hundreds of moths, though mainly large (to very large!) species, many of which remain unidentified.

Cheers,
Steve

Thanks, Steve - nice to see exotics and I like the bottle top as a size calibrator.
