Moths of the Amazon and Andes

A gallery of photographs taken by Adrian Hoskins

Photographs taken in Brazil, Peru, Ecuador, Venezuela and Trinidad.

On this page you will find 97 images depicting the amazing variety of moths found in the neotropical region. Clicking on any of these images takes you to a page dedicated to that species, describing its lifecycle and behaviour, and illustrated with a selection of full size images. Several of the illustrated species have yet to be identified, so if you are knowledgeable about neotropical moths and can put a name to any of them please contact me by e-mail quoting the species reference number given below.
