Description

From what I could tell this moth I found outside has six wings like a bi-plane with an extra pair. Are moths supposed to have six wings? If so, they don't seem to work too well for this one since it can't fly. Perhaps it just needs a bit more time to develop. I let the moth back outdoors after I finished taking its picture. Thanks for looking, -Peace :-)

I've seen the same ones but they fly around and buzz past me. That is until I want to try and grab a shot of them. They disappear real fast then. This one was being nice to you.

And I was being nice to the moth since I didn't eat it. Not to be controversial, but I do think it couldn't fly...

I think it is interesting that you caught this on film ! You might want to look it up and see what sort of moth it is. Maybe you found a new species? Great find and capture!!~*****~!!

It is bad luck to kill a moth . They are the carriers to the spirit world . If they flutter above your head you have special powers of the mind and great will~~~~GRRRRRRRRRRR
