Polilla peluda / Walker's moth

Sosxetra grata

Description:

This is the most amazing moth I have ever seen ... the hairs around the pronotum and the wing edges, are simply spectacular. It also has a very singular appendix between the wings, at the end of the pronotum and the border of the abdomen. Simply beautiful.

Habitat:

Amazon rainforest
