Scioglyptis lyciaria

IUCN Status: Not Assessed.

Moths are an incredibly diverse group. They are more numerous than butterflies by an estimate of ten to one. They are a critical actor in the pollination of many plant species, and provide food for many other animal species.

I think they are greatly under-appreciated, and wish I had the time to take them on seriously as a subject... but I'll have to settle for the ones that catch my eye with their eagerness to be photographed.
