Paul, just WOW! Martin Hauser must see this one! the detail of the distal wing being strongly bent downwards making a fold is amzing. |

Great photos - well done Paul. The forest around Tena is just superb - I wish I could go back there some day

AWESOME! This is a male of Euryneura (I guess) and I only know that the Australian genus Octarthria has such bent wings... Great pictures! Cheers Martin Martin Hauser |
