July is traditionally one of the quietest months here being mid Dry / mid Winter (along with August) but so far the trap has retained its interest with 140+ species in the first week (500+ photos still to work through).
Sphingidae Part I
Another great start to the month with 12 species so far..
Acosmeryx anceus - turning up most nights with a peak of two
Ambulyx dohertyi - five caught so far this month, four males and my first female; peak of three on one night
Daphnis moorei - a single rather battered individual at the start of the month
Daphnis protrudens - a single very fresh individual caught
Gnathothlibus eras - two males caught on the same night
