Nepita conferta Spotted.<br /> Yet another Nepita coniferta. Can&#039;t resist taking their photo, especially of the males with their comb-like antennae. This one is a female - alluring nevertheless. A lot of these around, since the monsoon marks their breeding season. Bangalore,Geotagged,India,Moth,Nepita,Nepita conferta,Tiger moth,Winter Click/tap to enlarge Promoted
