Chionarctia nivea Sheep-Headed

Beautiful Pasture Dwellers

Have you ever received a job at school about grouping insects. Almost all of us have our first experience at school when the teacher takes us out into an open space and explores the vast pastures.

It's still thick in my memory that it was, where I was with the group and had to do group chores. Me and a few friends looked for insects in the grass, then we had to keep a journal about the insects we found in the grass.

I remember when I first discovered Chionarctia nivea, when I didn't know the name of this insect. A few years later I rediscovered the insect at first I thought was mediocre, it turned out to have a very attractive appearance. Beautiful white hairy moth.

Similar to sheep's head

I don't think I'm wrong with this argument of mys, where Chionarctia nivea I declare the little sheep. I took several photo directions positioning this small winged animal from its head and face. And how surprised I am, this is a minimalist white sheep.

Let us pay close attention, Chionarctia nivea or often called moths. This insect is white hairy, and the most striking appearance of it is its two curved horns. Like a sheep ready to fight an enemy. Chionarctia nivea's head and its mighty back were as if she were truly a moth incarnated by a sheep.

However, the appearance of the sheep is only found from the front, while when viewed from the whole tubunya Chionarctia nivea remains a soft white moth. He had two black eyes staring at the shade. Furthermore he also had two fragile gray wings. Both wings he only uses when he feels he has to move to move.

Indeed, this moth is classified as a benign insect that is more passive than insects in general. Chionarctia nivea has an indifferent attitude and does not care about the circumstances. This was evident when I approached him. This small white-haired insect is calm and not busy. He really enjoyed the situation. That's the Chionarctia nivea I found in junior high school.

The Moth In The Shot

That day I found him in the bathroom, it seemed like he was locked up again and didn't know how to get out. At first I was a little indifferent and didn't care about his presence in the bathroom. I continued to bathe while singing songs in the voice of fales. Ten minutes I was ready to take a shower and I noticed he was still relaxing on the wall.

Hesitantly I approached him, and leaned closer to see him more clearly. My eyesight has long been problematic plus I spend more time in front of laptops and gadgets. After I made sure it was a moth that I had found when school, I took him out of the bathroom.

After arriving at the yard, the moth's face was clearly visible, there I found his extraordinary good looks. I took the camera and photographed it a few times. I took a good twig and a good moth crawled on the twig and relaxed there.

Then I started doing my job, which was photographing this beautiful moth. The moth I personally nicknamed, the dashing white sheep. Well, I don't know if you agree or not. At least I'm not too serious about that nickname. Anyone can give him a nickname, I thought. It all depends on each other's point of view.
