Thanks Kyle,
Just one more moth photograph and some more butterflies and birds I'll
upload tomorrow.
Grande problemo aqui. I for got to bring my camera battery charger, and
only my 3 power moth camera is now working. This afternoon I'm driving to
Walmart and a photo store in Cancun to see if they sell the charger or can
charge the Canon SX-40 battery.
I don't post here often, but always enjoy your and others pictures and the
quest we all have for IDs.
If maybe 20% of our U.S. moths are uncatalogued, I'd guess maybe 50% in
Mexico. Maybe more.
