Aish que triste :( Gracias por la explicación.
Juan DiTrani
las alas se desarrollan dentro de la crisalida, cuando hay algun problema fisico, metabolico o genético no se les desarrollan las alas o se les quedan "arrugadas". Obvio que este insecto no vive por mucho tiempo
Carolina
Explicame Juan, como así que emergió con alas atrofiadas?
Juan DiTrani
sip, es una polilla Sphingidae, al parecer emergió con las alas atrofiadas
Juan DiTrani
no tienes un close up o foto recortada para ver mejor el detalle e identificarla?
Carolina
Yes, that's how I could find it. It didn't fly, se arrastraba (no se como decirlo en ingles jaja)
Juan DiTrani
mmm, this looks like a Sphinx moth, are you sure it was loud?
