If this turns out to be an unidentified moth, it would be an astonishing find. Regardless, it looks amazing.

We are excited to announce that Project Noah will again be partnering with the folks at National Moth Week, for their second annual event, which starts July 20th 2013. In anticipation of NMW, we will be selecting a “Moth of the Month” each month leading up to the event. Congrats Nuwan, this gorgeous moth has been chosen Moth of the Month for February! Scientists believe that only 20% of moth species have been “discovered”, that is formally described. Could this unidentified beauty from Sri Lanka be a new species perhaps? https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10152526055650603&set=a.10152383557885603.943728.10150120463815603&type=1 https://twitter.com/projectnoah/status/298996682178318337
