Yup Agnes. My problem is about the color. I have seen this moth in a lot of color, from almost black till almost yellow. Is really the same species?
BTW Sorry for the absence but you know... There was a typoon :(

Tnx, all of you! Wow, Ashley T, More than 28.000 visits to the pic and more that 2.000 coments, Amazing!
Many people asked me how can this moth fly with this. Ok, the answer is it can't. The coremata is a pneumatic system. Apears and dissapear in seconds, it's just a "device" for the short distance. In the long distance the pheromones involved are spread by the females.
Yup, you're right, as usual. Tnx Nuwan.
