Moth

Cyclodes omma

Description:

The wings on this Nut Borer Moth - Cyclodes omma looks blurry cos it was 'powering-up' ie. heating up its flight muscles by vibrating their wings, since they do not have the radiant energy of the sun (being nocturnal) at their disposal to serve that purpose.

Habitat:

Tropical forest.
