Plume moth

I do apologize for earlier, the app on my phone posted my comment twice!

Thank you Injica and Mike!

Thank you Atul! Very welcome! I love these guys, couldn't help but share!

Great thought Lauren! I'd be interested to see that; I would expect a better survival rate, even if it was just a small increase! Thank you!

I want to add something I didn't get around to explaining-- the Plume moth is absolutely remarkable in flight. They do not have a single wing surface, instead they have many branches that come out, which are covered in distinct fringes. These fringes overlay each other in such a way that when the wing beats downwards, each one moves independently, but as a single lifting surface, much like a normal wing. This means they actually have more control than a typical moth, unlike what would be expected from a moth with such fragile looking wings.
