Lanternfly - Pyrops clavata mizunumai
This is another neglected specimen from my collection...
I hadn't intended to share this photo and only took it in case I wasn't able to spread the lanternfly because it was really brittle. But, it's 6 months later and I still haven't attempted to spread it yet, so I'm sharing the photo now in case I never get around to it. ;P
*Pinned specimen; native to southeast Asia
It's very pretty with spread wings:
