Many thanks to Rayner Núñez and Douglas Fernández for allowing me to use their moth photos here on the website which is now expanding! I have now loaded these and a few of mine as well and they can be found under Species > Other Wildlife > Moths. I still have quite a few to add and I hope to get up to date in the next couple of months but sorting out the identifications can be a bit of a problem. On future trips we will make time to do more mothing and getting better pictures.
About 1,400 species have been described so far in Cuba and interestingly the rate of endemism, approximately 19%, is very close to that found in the butterflies on the island. But of course there will be many more still to discover and some of these will be new to science. Moths from twenty four Super-familes have been found in Cuba to date but I have so far included some pictures for just six of these. If you spot any errors in identification please let me know.
