Great stuff! Many thanks for putting this together and out there
Greetings Bart
Thanks, Bart :-)
I have updated the image to include Moira's Spirama. One may need to force-refresh the page to see the changes.
Super!
Thank you, Marion.
Once again, very nice!
Thank you all :-) Hope it's useful.
Have added a quick cheat sheet at the top of the post coz I like to see them all at once (fits well on my laptop screen).
Thank you very much.I notice the first three pictures of Cyligramma limacina on AfroMoths all come from KZN .Not sure how they did this as the distribution is much futher north, as you mentioned.
