The marvellously named Silky Wanderer (Leptophobia eleone), near Cosanga, Ecuador this year. Beautiful butterfly, really understated.

An improbable moth species I saw in Ecuador earlier this year. Something in the Megalopygidae family - probably Trosia genus. I'd gone to Ecuador to look for birds, but many of the birding lodges had lights set up to attract the moths... to attract the birds... to attract the birders. As a result I got no sleep for 2 weeks. So worth it.

Always one of my favourites: a Ceanothus silk moth (Hyalophora euryalus) spotted in Osoyoos, BC in May of this year, Beautiful specimen, too. We get a ton of Polyphemus silk moth where I live, but occasionally one of these shows up and it's a real treat.
