Pokemon or Moth? Lebeau's rothschildia (Rothschildia lebeau) saying hello! [8868x5792]

10 upvotes 0 comments
Clinging to the end of a long thin leaf hangning just ~60 cm / 2' above the floor this Lebeau's rothschildia (Rothschildia lebeau) was a very convenient moth to photograph at the Haga Ocean butterfly house in Solna on the northern side of Stockholm, Sweden. Not only because of the height, but also because it didn't move (being a nocturnal moth means they obviously stay as still as possible during the day).

Also, don't those antennae (and that face) look absolutely super cute?

This is a quite spectacular species with a surprisingly chubby body and beautiful silver "windows" on the wings.
