Thanks.
They are beautiful moths. I was delighted to get the photo as it was not settling much.
A beautiful photo....a beautiful moth....
I was delighted when it appeared. It did not stay around long.
Nice one!!
The only one I saw on the trip but in one spot in Taiwan (also a garden designed to attract butterflies etc.) there were many related ones.
A nice colorful bug!
It was very restless so I was delighted to get some photos.
Beautiful images Les! Thank you for sharing :)
I had seen similar ones in Taiwan and read that they still don't know whether the 2 species should be one species.
Superb.
