Good luck on getting another battery/your current one charged Doug! I hate when
that happens.
I'd assume that a majority of the moths in Mexico are not cataloged, though
maybe there is less than I imagine cause some of the moths in northern Mexico
are probably the same as found in the Southwest.
Cheers,
Kyle

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.

Nice pics Doug! Thanks for sharing, nice to see pics of some of those species
again, esp. the butterflies and birds. And neat moths too! I saw a damselfly
among your pics; if you want that id'ed I would suggest sending it to Dennis
Paulson. I can send you his email if you want, he's a very nice guy and a great
birder too.
