"Behe-Moth"

This enormous moth remains in the cocoon for 5 years. On emerging, it only lives 3-5 days, because it does not have a mouth and so cannot feed.
Note the image of a snake's head on each wing tip.

Nikon D40x
1/50s f/9.0 at 75.0mm iso400 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Wow, so interesting. Good capture of the detail on the wings. Chris B
