Stygia - a rare moth Last year (July 2022) this moth was seen for the first time in Israel. it looks very much like a moth known from Morocco, and the moth in the picture is the second one to be found in Israel. it is of the genus Stygia, but the experts are not sure if this one is exactly like the Moroccan moth, or is it a whole different species. they were very excited when this moth came to our light trap :-) <br /> part of national moth week 2023<br /> <a href="https://nationalmothweek.org/" rel="nofollow">https://nationalmothweek.org/</a> Israel,Stygia,moth Click/tap to enlarge
