== Biography ==
Miles-Moss was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge from 1891 to 1894, where he was a choral scholar of King's College and president of the Natural History Society. From 1895 to 1898 he was curate of Holy Trinity, Birkenhead, then curate at Kendal Parish Church, and from 1901 to 1907 he was precentor of Norwich Cathedral. Although continuing a career in the church his passion was lepidoptera (moths and butterflies), so he jumped at the chance to work for the Anglican church in South America. Miles-Moss became expert on South American lepidoptera and produced a lot of valuable research, including specimens and drawings which are still in use today in the Natural History Museum. He achieved wider fame for having the largest parish in the world while based in a remote part of Brazil. He was also a talented artist, painting many landscapes, seascapes and tree studies, and his paintings have been exhibited at the Royal Academy in London.〔Westmorland Gazette: 'The Amazon Chaplaincy', November 6, 1926〕
