Polka-Dot Wasp Moth

Description:

Photo take at home this beauty just came flying inside the house and land on a mosquito net just put my hand and when on, is so cool that let me take some shots. They are dark metallic blue with a couple of white polka-dots dotting the wings and upper abdomen. The tip of the moth's abdomen is bright red; it looks like a very dangerous wasp, but in fact is a harmless moth.

Habitat:

They prefer neotropic areas, to which they are native.

Notes:

Females contact male polka-dot wasp moths by means of ultrasonic signals. On the branch, the sound travels, and then the male follows the sound to his new mate. When he reaches her, he emits an answering signal.
