Good afternoon everyone. Okay in this post I will share some pictures of a very beautiful moth. I just found out that moths can open their wings like that, and it looks like a jet, moreover this moth has a very beautiful color like the color of tiger fur, I managed to photograph this moth from several different angles because it is very tame with me, I don't know why this moth is so tame, but before I took a picture of it I saw that this moth had just finished drinking a lot of flower nectar, is it because this moth is full, that's why it is very tame with me. Oh yeah I managed to find this moth when I was in my friend's palm oil plantation, and at that time I was looking for beautiful insects to photograph, and luckily I managed to find this moth, so I can photograph it and share it here.
