Great bug! I like the colors and polka dots! Sorry bayucca, I don't know where that phrase came from :)

OK, that's probably the moment for somebody to explain me the term: Polka dot, since, as I can remember this might be a Polka dot moth or anything similar. But I have no idea where this expression is coming from. Anybody knows??
