African Moon Moth

The face of an African Moon Moth
Argema mimosae
Female

n downloading this image of this beautiful moth, I noticed a face peering at me which includes eyes, eyebrows, nose, floppy ears, and perhaps even a trunk.
I see an elephant...what do you see? An example of the fascinating mimicry of nature!
