From a nuptial flight…are these dead now? It does look like a beautiful textile.
Just chanced upon them carpeting our balcony after the rains! Thanks for the comment Annvan.
Great photo! We have plagues of these every now and again... Wow, amazing how beautiful you make them look!! :-)
Congrats Benigno! Please add me to your FB account http://www.facebook.com/leana.lahomcristobal :D

Sorry, mea culpa! Removed from the Moths in the Philippines mission already. Thanks a lot for all the comments!
Very nice photo Benigno! Love the pattern <3 however, they're not moths but termites as suggested by ChiefRedEarth. Kindly remove from the moth mission. Thanks and btw I love all your spottings!
We call them flying ants - but ChiefRedEarth is probably more accurate. We collect them, take off the wings and toast them. Beautiful photo.
Beautiful! Looks like flowers herbaria :) But these are not moths, this is termites, as ChiefRedEarth have told you.. Please don't add this spotting to Moths in the Philippines mission.. Thanks :)
