Field Notes

Description:

When I found it in the floor, I went to pick it up because I thought it was an old/dry roll up leaf, ...well it fooled me!! turned out it was a beautiful green eye moth that when open, her wings expanded just like a regular Moth.

Thank you, Sergio Monteiro. You bring to us so much of what it is out there that we do not even know exist. I also tried to place spottings that are uncommon and appreciate everyone that does the same.

I really enjoy each one of your spottings and i am sure others do to.

Well, I think it is fantastic, Gilma, I just missed it (it is really hard to see all the great stuff that is posted here...). Congrats.

This is very interesting Gilma! I just saw it. You have amazing stuff around you! Wild life is incredibly intelligent. Mimicry is great. It makes me often wonder as to how they figure out stuff.
