Moths from Brazil (1 Viewer)

Hi,

I was recently fortunate to visit Brazil and Argentina and of course, a few moths made their presence known!

I'll start by saying that I don't really expect any positive i.d's. It's obvious from searching the Internet that, apart from a few oft occurring examples, the moth fauna of this part of the world isn't terribly well documented! I thought that maybe someone out there may have seen a photo somewhere, or knows of a source of info that I may not be aware of which could lead me on a voyage of discovery?

I've posted 3 of the most distinctive moths I saw. The first 2 were taken in the Brazilian Pantanal, Mato Grosso state, and the 3rd in Argentina, in the region of Iguacu Falls, Misiones province.

Here's Hoping!

Thanks
