My wife and I recently had the privelege of viisting Antigua - my first time in the Caribbean. The biodiversity was superb. I tried to largely ignore the flies as clearly identification was likely to prove very difficult. I did however photograph three for which I also retained specimens. All had been attracted to the balcony lights and I was looking for moths.

This is the third of these. I do have the specimen in case it is of interest to anyone. It is overall 11 mm long. Collected Pineapple Beach Club, Long Bay, Willikies, Antigua on 20 Nov 2017.

I apprecaite that it is asking a lot but wonder if any of the spevcialists might be able to suggest an identification.

Many thanks

Alan
