Finally:-)
A few years ago I found a larva when I was with Jim McClarin, and now I finally found an adult.

 
Good going, Tom.
They're none too plentiful, are they?

 
Scarcity
That makes it all the better when I find something like this.

 
Once I get established in Ecuador
I'm anxious to have you visit and explore. You're guaranteed to use up a lot of digital film :-) It's one of the best birding areas in the world and where arthropods are concerned, every day you'll be shooting something nobody else has ever photographed. At my elevation there are no poisonous snakes to photograph (Rats!) or bite you and no mosquito-borne tropical diseases to worry about.

 
Sounds great
On Monday I'm going to Honduras for a week. My first Central American trip.

 
Let me know when you've posted photos from the trip.
I'd like to see what fun you've had ;-)
