I have come across 3 incredible black & white moths in the past couple of weeks. I found 2 of these in a few days where Alex takes weekly classes.
It is a Giant Leopard Moth. Great name, huh? As a caterpillar, he is a "wooly bear" which should never be touched as their bristles can break off and cause a rash.
And, this one is SO gorgeous!!! I think it might be a type of ermine moth, but I'm not sure. His legs& antennae are incredible! Hopefully, you can enlarge this one.
Wow what a great find! Amazing
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI have never seen any like that...
That is awesome! Seems to be in touch with his designer side. :)

ReplyDeleteWow! Beautiful! I've never, ever seen a moth like that. You have such a keen eye. It makes me wish I could be with you on a nature walk.
ReplyDeleteWow!!! Never seen one of these before! Love the circle spots on him! I'm wondering if we have any of these where we live, probably not but I have to do a search to see:)
