2005, Northern Kentucky University's Costa Rican Natural History course. My first time in the cloud forest. We spent a couple of days at Finca de Quetzales in the hopes of seeing a quetzal. In my opinion, they can't compete with the glorious moths in the area. This elegant clear wing moth was one of many attracted to the lights of the lodge in the evening.

This amber winged species was particularly exotic-looking, and common in the area.
