Flying insect - Gillmeria pallidactyla | Aceh Insect

in #photography7 years ago (edited)

Gillmeria pallidactyla is a moth of the family Pterophoridae. I found it in the leaves during the day. The sun is very bright, the wind is very strong and the size of the insects are also quite small so this time I get a picture that is less focused.

If you want to find them usually hide among the low foliage during the day. They become active from dusk onwards, and at night they will come to light.

Wow awesome quality in those pictures! I love it :)

If I didn't know it's a moth I'd call it a gigantic mosquito mutant :p

Previously I also thought it was a giant mosquito. 😀
Spend a lot of time surfing the internet to find references. 😵

It payed off. And it is so cool to find out what we actually shot :)

Very expressive, beautifully charming
