    Brian, that is a fascinating beasty to say the least. Well captured.

    and to pay proper respect; as nice a capture as it is is due to all the people here that have been teaching me about pp, framing and all of the other skills that went into this picture. (and more than a little good luck)

    All your extraordinary critters, Brian. Well shot and illustrative of nature's fanciful creativity or psychosis or some of both. According to some these types will inherit the planet someday after we finish trashing it. Wouldn't that be a show?

    This viewing angle makes it easier to pick out its rather complicated shape but still leaves me with a mystery of what it might be. A little mystery can be a powerful reason for lingering to explore the image more fully. Both versions are compelling Brian!

    One of the Plume Moths I suspect. Maybe Pterophoridae family?

    Brian, easily the most interesting yet of your wee beastie series.

    Hi Geoff, I just got this info from a museum in Vancouver B.C. Canada... Oops...that should be Family Pterophoridae (not Plutellidae)...K.



    Hello Brian...what a lovely photo! All I can tell you is that it is a T-wing moth (Family Plutellidae)...here at the Spencer we study only BC insects so I have no idea what species you have there in the Philippines, but she's a beauty! K. Oops...that should be Family Pterophoridae (not Plutellidae)...K.

    You do know your bugs!
