Hi Amrita... Delete second picture and upload it in separate plant spotting.

Moths find their mate by smelling their pheromones. One of my guest is that the moth above have similar smell as it's species fooling it to mate with it. Another guest is that the moth mate with the wrong one instead of the right one nearby.

Wow. How utterly bizarre. Cool spotting! By the way, the flower should be a separate spotting.

2 completely different species of moth mating! Moreover 2 days! This is interesting. By the way the black one is a wasp moth or handmaiden moth.

I think they were mating. Weird but beautiful. They stayed like that for two days! The black one had a transparent design on it's wings - could see the floor right through it!
