Hi Dan, I'm at it again :) I started a mission called Flies! Please consider joining and adding all of your wonderful fly spottings :) http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8526126 Thank you
Its Dorsal view remind me Northrop B2 bomber.
Beautiful markings on the wings!
I thought its a Wasp moth...!!
Thanks Latimeria. I wasn't sure what it was when I first saw it either.
Beautiful picture, great detail. I saw one of these a few weeks ago and thought it was a moth at first! Also, I love the name of this genus. It sounds futuristic.
