[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
This little moth tested my belief in Darwin's theory: What possible "natural selection advantage" produced this exquisite creature sporting huge fake pupils on powder-blue eyes set off with a natty orange pashmina?
Unfortunately, the only way I am able to identify a moth is to search for it on the Internet - but one can't believe everything that's posted there. Nevertheless, I'm pretty much convinced that this moth is an Asota producta. |

yes John,
seems you are correct. this could be an 'Asota producta'. but what's about 'Asota caricae'? given it a thought?
well, such a lovely presentation of this beautiful creature. wish few parts were not out of the frame. but good clarity. even the eyes are so clear! good one.
keep posting. enjoy Nature :)
