A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Project Noah Nature School
Draconia sp.
the moth was facing into the sun so in order to get a shot that wasn't mostly silhouette, I used my flash as in the first photo, second photo is with natural light.

This was one of those one time spots. Just see it once, get a couple photos if you're lucky and then it's gone. Never to be seen again. I've had many of these are staying in a place for a while, but I also start to learn what is more common. I really noticed that this year, especially in the Amazon and the cloudforest, where I spent most of my time in Colombia.
Thyrididae, Draconia sp., looks similar as Draconia peripheta. But I would go with Draconia sp.
