  This moth seems eager to say "Look what I've got underneath". It's not a very considerate moth though. It just lands its full weight on entire groups of smaller moths. I'm thinking that as a moth, life is too short to be nice. Posted 6 years ago

    It must be difficult to maneuver and land when you are that big. It is a large moth, right? Posted 6 years ago

      Yes, I'd say the wing span as seen on this photo is about 10cm. Posted 6 years ago
