Field Notes

Description:

Maybe 2cm across, I found this moth in coastal scrub. It seems to have what I would call a valance on a bed, around it. Unfortunately this was the only shot I got before it flew away.

Thank you so much k.andrews6. I share your passion. I was also thrilled to find Project Noah, it's highly addictive! Glad you're enjoying adding to your collection & being part of this great community :)
I love the adaptations animals make to camouflage themselves. Your spottings are absolutely beautiful. Thanks for sharing them. I'm so glad I found PN.
I cant believe you found an ID Nuwan! Thank you so much, you are amazing :)
