    Amazing animals. I wonder what the tails mean for them. Posted 9 years ago

      I have no idea. The tails are actually the hindwings but they are not used to fly.

    This ones are very beautiful creatures* I'm chasing Nemoptera bipennis since a few years ago, and I know where they reproduce and flying season, but I never had the opportunity to be in the right place, and at the right time. They are on my wish list yet, for this year ;) Great capture and beautiful photo matching! Posted 9 years ago, modified 9 years ago

      Thanks! This was a lucky find. We stopped on the road and there they were, resting in the grass. Posted 9 years ago

        I've seen some records recently and they are usually photographed like you say, resting in the grass, or feeding over umbelifera. They are beautifully quite unique. cheers* Posted 9 years ago
