The recent trip to Malaysia with Anthony Arak to see the moths of Fraser's Hill (with David Fisher , Stephen Hogg and Khalid Fadil , 3 of the worlds expert's on Malaysian Moths) was truly mind blowing. There was at least 7/8 traps on every night and we wandered around seeing some of the most amazing moths on the planet . They were everywhere , Malaysian Moon Moths , Atlas Moths , Silk Moths , 30 + Hawkmoth Species , Hearsey's Owl Moth Brachmaea , Genus Sacada , Grambidae like you've never seen , Tiger moths sp , Goat Moth sp ,etc etc . 500 + species that we took photos of and could remember , but over 1000 species recorded by the group....There was also the most varied selection of Stick Insects , Beetles , Snakes , Spiders , Birds all around the Hotel , it was 100% concentration needed to keep on top of it all....If you ever get chance to go...just go for it....
