Banded Pearl moth
As usual, when the sun begins to shine, I always take a moment to walk in nature to enjoy the fresh air and beautiful insects. Today, I found a Banded Pearl moth hanging behind a leaf. Its wings were fully spread, seemingly accepting the morning air.
This Banded Pearl moth is one of the most unique moths I've ever encountered. It's a double story, and I was almost fooled by it. The first time I saw it, it was hanging behind a fresh green blade of grass. Because of its hanging position, I photographed only its underside. It looked simple, with its soft colors. Here, the transparent parts of its wings weren't clearly visible, they were still faint.




As I moved my phone a little closer, it suddenly flew away. I followed its flight path and managed to find it perched in a new spot. In that new spot, it hung peacefully again. I took another photo, and here I discovered something new, its wings had a unique, transparent pattern. Here, the colors also seemed to have changed, becoming more pronounced. And the way he stood also looked full of confidence, even though he was the same creature.
