            The following photos were taken at night with a Cannon PowerShot SX50 camera in TV mode (shutter speed priority) with the camera's flash, unless otherwise indicated.  Shutter speed, flash intensity, distance to subject, and zoom varied among the photos.  The photos were resized in ACDSee by setting actual print size to 7.5 inches, but the photos are otherwise unedited.

            These photos were taken during a Lepidoptera biodiversity inventory conducted by Hugo Kons Jr. during October of 2016.  All of the species represented below are documented with voucher specimens on each date they were encountered in addition to the photos.  Far more species were recorded from specimens during the bioblitz than were photographed; with the photography I concentrated on moths on a bait trail of rotten banana/brown sugar bait (see Kons and Borth (2007) for a description of bait trails).  Some of these species cannot be definitively identified from the below photos but were identified after the specimens in the photos were collected.  This web page is not intended as an identification source, rather, these photos are a compliment to the voucher specimens and were primarily used to document feeding behavior at an artificial food source.  This web page presents some of this documentation as well as examples of the capabilities of this camera model for this type of photography.
