Thank you very much!!! We are very proud of being part of the Project Noah blog!
Great job. You are in the blog. Congratulations! Wonderful moth!
Congratulations Noe and Pili, this gorgeous moth is being featured in the Project Noah blog today! http://blog.projectnoah.org/
Muchas gracias por tu sugerencia, ya lo he puesto en la descripción. Por lo que se ve es la más grande de Europa
Por cierto, increible el tamaño!
Aun lo puedes poner en la descripcion :-)
tendría que haber puesto algo de referencia para que se vea lo grande que es esa polilla, porque en la foto puede parecer pequeña y media unos 15 cms
Una foto muy bonita con un magnifico contraste de fondo.
