Empyreuma affinis
This is a specimen that was intriguing to me and mystifying at first glance so much so I have attached a video.
Caribbean moth was not harmed during documentation.
Great video! How nice to see it alive! It really does do a good job as a wasp mimic!
I agree. You can upload videos on the website by pasting either a YouTube or Vimeo link in the specified area.
I use the mobile version for uploads but it is limited in seeing a lot of others spottings.
That is nice to hear, and I'm glad to help! Are you on the mobile version or the website?
It is one of the most interesting things that I found on the islands of Turks and Caicos. And let it be known that it is still alive I was able to stun it and examine it. I also was able to get some amazing video footage wish project Noah had an option to post that as well. Thanks for your help.
Beautiful spotting! I have updated the scientific name as well as added it to the mission: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8841...
