Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: This was another tough one for me. BAMONA records only a few sightings of Gonioterma mistrella and the closest to my location would be around 800 kms away. One submitted image was taken with my cell phone, the other with my Nikon DSLR. I forgot to note weather conditions on this night, but the day was around 25C, over 90% humidity and heavy rain showers in the morning. By 10:30 pm it was calm, 18-20C and humidity still over 80%.
