Was looking through some old photos the other day and came upon this gorgeous little moth from Costa Rica. Not the most stimulating background (bench), but what a remarkable little creature!

It is a strange little fellow. I think a more natural background would swallow the moth up. It's obviously designed to blend in. What a beauty. Thanks for sharing
