2012 Koh Samui Moths
Folder: Far East
Some of the more interesting moths which we recorded at the Centara Villas Hotel during our stay there. Most were to our Travelling Net Trap, but a few were picked up in daylight or another light somewhere in the hotel. A good few still need identification, so if you can help, we'd be pleased to hear from you. My thanks to Ryan Brookes for helping with a number of the species in this set.
