With the warmer weather small beasts started appearing and you get surprised by them more often. This is the case of this one I found on the ground this morning that was very well camouflaged. Can you spot it?

At 12 cm wingspan this is a rather large moth of a species unknown to me but not less beautiful! A couple of other pictures for you to admire.


No, can’t see it,

Another good one. We’ve been seeing a few moths here in KwaZulu Natal too. Ours have been emperors and atlas moths.

Thanks. Emperor and atlas are great “beasts”. I am waiting for the start of the summer here for lots of new species to arrive. Cheers
