MOTHS OF JAMAICA

COLOUR PLATES BY FAMILY

Click on the plate below which interests you to go to colour plates showing 30 or more members of one family (or a small number of families) per plate. Individual species illustrations may then be clicked upon to take you to a larger colour illustration of the adult (and sometimes its genitalia) and brief information on the distribution and other known biology of the species. Just under 500 of the 730 species currently catalogued from Jamaica are illustrated here - if any readers have specimens or images to loan or donate to 'fill the gaps' I would be glad to hear from them.
