Magical cape.... i like that ! The image you see is exactly what i saw before my eyes and it was a beauty even before i saw it through the lens.Its been sometime now and i passed the same place for my walks in the morning , but i don't see it anymore.Sometimes i feel that it is meant to be seen by someone and discovered . Thanks igorneau.

I saw this same Metalmark moth in the secondary vegetation , while going up the highland 4 days ago. It was slightly bigger by about 4mm maybe and the color was brighter. it was raining heavily and I had no chance to use the Camera.
