Terrific idea! I’ll try that, too.

A month ago I went to Zacatecas and stayed in a house in a ‘‘farm’’. At night I only had to turn on the balcony lights without any sheet and bugs came like crazy.

Speaking of moths, is there anyone on here who knows about microleps?

What about them? I can identify a few families in North and Central America. People like hkmoths and kyhlaustin and cgrinter are very knowledgeable.

Trying to get an idea of whom to @ besides the top identifiers of “Butterflies and Moths,” who may not know microleps.

Superfamilies Gelechoidea, Yponomeutoidea, Gracillarioidea, and Tineoidea have a lot of microleps, if that helps to check

Local moth experts should know most of local fauna, I don’t think they avoid microleps, at least here what is idable is ided.

If you know the taxonomical hierarchy you want to start at, you can filter by place to show you top identifiers for that area.

Thanks all. I have begun to get an idea of what it might be, and I tagged a few people on that basis.
Does anyone have tips on finding moths in autumn? It’s +4-6C at evening/morning and around +15C in peak of the day, what techniques work best for species that fly now? They’re not flying at low temps, so attracting by light seems hard, if it will work, at which time/temp it’s best to do? And if searching resting moths, what moment would be optimal?
