Moth

Description:

When I found it in the floor, I went to pick it up because I thought it was an old/dry roll up leaf, ...well it fooled me!! turned out it was a beautiful green eye moth that when open, her wings expanded just like a regular Moth.

Thanks, DrNamgyalT.Sherpa, I post it because I have not seen many of this type of Moth here in PN.

Yes Gilma, they (your spotting and mine) look quite similar!

Thank you, Sergio Monteiro.
You bring to us so much of what it is out there that we do not even know exist. I also tried to place spottings that are uncommon and appreciate everyone that does the same.

I really enjoy each one of your spottings and i am sure others do to.

Thank you, Jemma.
I really think that a Project like this one is to bring to everyone the nature but also the odd things Nature give us.

Well, I think it is fantastic, Gilma, I just missed it (it is really hard to see all the great stuff that is posted here...). Congrats.

This is very interesting Gilma! I just saw it. You have amazing stuff around you!
Wild life is incredibly intelligent. Mimicry is great. It makes me often wonder as to how they figure out stuff.

I thought this Moth was so interesting, but nobody did.... : (
