Horst writes April 25, 2006, "My name is Horst, I`m Swiss and I have been living for more than twenty years here in Ecuador.
"My passion is butterfly and moth collecting. Once or twice each month I go to the amazon or coast, sometimes also high in the mountains to put on my light. Ecuador has a very interesting fauna and sometimes I get very rare butterflies too.
"I also rear every year local saturniids and would like to exchange eggs for different livestock. Please feel free to contact me."
