Longhorn Moth - Male, Heeswijk-Dinther, Netherlands Unmistakably the male of the species, with its insanely long antennae several times its body length (4-5 times). I see these moths every season in this damp forest, always on ferns. They are skittish and well aware of you, so the approach has to be very, very slow.
