Rains and moths

After what seems like an eternal build up the rains seem to have finally arrived, better late than never I guess. Moth numbers have been steadily declining since the short, early rains three weeks previous so hopefully the downpours of the last two days will now see the main influx appearing fairly soon. The flow of new species is fairly easy to deal with currently in terms of ID but I'm steering well clear of Noctuids or anything else that looks remotely tricky! Here's a selection of a few new ones from the last few days.

Phiala simplex, Frontier Mine, DR Congo

Polyptychus coryndoni, Frontier Mine, DR Congo

Trimetopia aetheraria, Frontier Mine, DR Congo

Antheua simplex (white form), Frontier Mine, DR Congo

Mentaxya albifrons, Frontier Mine, DR Congo
