Field Notes

Description:

This fragile little moth about 1 cm long usually lands like a butterfly with it's wings closed together (picture 2). By making it fly several times, it finally landed with it's wings flat and was surprisingly dark colored with green designs.

Habitat:

Garden lights, San Cristobal de Las Casas, 2,200 meters.
