Castniid Moth
Castniomera drucei

Field Notes
Description:
Castniomera is a genus of moths within the family Castniidae. It is a day-flying moth.
Habitat:
Found flying around trees in the botanical garden in Selva Verde, Costa Rica. This was the only time I saw this moth on the whole trip.
Notes:
I was watching one of these moths flying round, waiting for it to settle so I could get a photograph, when a bird suddenly swooped down and grabed it. A nice meal for the bird!
