Magic moth When I first saw this moth flitting about, i thought that it had torn in half! This is just one of a gazillion moths and insects you will see at Crocker Range Biosphere Reserve, Sabah. Just go to any lighted building and the insects will congregate there, I kid you not! Geotagged,Malaysia,Summer,Urapteroides astheniata Click/tap to enlarge PromotedSpecies introCountry intro
