Madagascan moths

Some moths from our trip to Madagascar

I took a battery powered LED lamp and a white sheet to Northern Madagascar in August 2026.  Here are some of the moths I encountered.  Many are oddly similar to European species.

The largest moth prize goes to the Madagascan bullseye silkmoth (right).

And some non-moths, like this lovely green leaf-hopper (left) and the rhinoceros beetle (right).
