I’m out of the Jungle. I had the most amazing 24 hours.
Before I start compiling my jungle photos, here is one I had to share. It is the most incredible looking moth I have ever seen!! I thought it was the cutest wood carved key chain shaped like a deer head sitting on the table….. then I thought, hang on, there’s no keys attached to it….I looked closer and realised it’s a moth. I looked around the room to see if I could find another similar one, there were a few flying around the lights, than I found another one resting on the floor with it’s wings spread open slightly. It looked more like a mask. From far, in the dark, it looked like darth vadar but with the camera flash it’s not so similar.
I have no idea what this moth is called. It should be named the transformer! 🙂 Is this a new species of moth??
More photos to follow 🙂
Thank you to Sagedoyle for identifying this as Prominent moth. Tarsolepis taiwana Notodontidae. Mystery solved!!

Glad you haven’t been et by tigers or anything. The moth is amazing. It is hard to make head or tail of the first shot.

I think it is gorgeous. I’m not sure whether it is the curves or the textures, but it appeals to my aesthetic sense.
