[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is the attractive moth
- Spilosoma luteum
- family: Arctiidae

Its attractivity is due to the colour pattern but in particular to its lion-like hair-style.
The moth is not rare but it is rarely observed as it is usually active at night.

Hello Peter,
Yes, certainly "Fluffy"! ha ha ha:)
Good picture of this interesting moth, resembles a poodle that is in my mother's house!
Good POV, light is sober, but efective and we can appreciate the details. The approach is accurate and additionally you have composed it very well, and allowed a nice OOF BG on the right side of the photo.
TFS, regards, Jesús
