Correspondence from Anita Shaul (aesbiologist on Inat). Images from Jinotega Nicaragua.The close-up makes me wonder ... If there were similar detail images from other observers, it might be possible infer age (wear on scales for example). A further step: if an observer gently handled the moth and examined the frenulum (which is dimorphic male/female) we could learn the sex of observations. This would be enormously useful. |
