Unlike anything I've ever seen before...a truly beautiful creature! thx so much for sharing...:)
Malaysia doesn't have to invent any designs, just take them off their wildlife. I have never seen anything like this before!
The banner cut off the end of the moths wings when there were two pictures so I've uploaded the second photo, showing how the moth was first spotted at rest in a new spotting here: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/775...
