Esa fue la unica vez q la vi Luis, ayer vi una polilla morada que doblaba las alas y quedaba con forma de piramide, pewro no tenia camara para tomarla, era muy interesante
Looks like someone took the soldering gun to it. Very cool spotting!
Geometridae, Ennominae. Phrygionis privignaria.
Is it large or small? I saw a picture on what's that bug that was similar, but it was a large saturnid
don't know what it is, but I love it. maybe a small Cylon? :)
I could not find anything about this moth, That metallic thing on its wings is very strange, If someone has any idea please let me know
si lamentablemente lo esta, pero lo q me parecio raro y q talvez t ayudaria a identificarla son esas lineas brillantes en las alas como aluminio derretido. pero gracias de todos modos
I agree AnnvanWijgerden i couldn`t believe it when i saw it
Sorry I can't help you with the ID, but those metallic lines are amazing!
