I have often seen this insect, its size is small but has a very unique body shape, and it looks like a body filled with thorns. I managed to find this insect on wild leaves in my plantation, from a distance I initially thought it was a mosquito, but it has a slightly more striking color, namely blackish orange, from a close distance I began to see the uniqueness of this insect so that it made me interested in photographing it. To be able to capture the beauty of this insect I also tried to photograph it using a macro lens, and because of my curiosity I started asking about this insect on Google and it turned out this was a moth (very surprising to me). This moth has a fairly slender body specification, but when it is resting its wings will be spread out which looks like thorns, this is one of the uniqueness of nature that can only be seen from a close distance.

Okay everyone, now I will give you some pictures of this moth here.
