[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
There are easily be nearly 100 moth species that choose to fly by day. Some moths even require hot and sunny conditions before they take to the air, and many are brightly coloured, so they are not that different from butterflies. Many people would like to name the moths they see but with some 1800 species of macro moth, and a further 2000 micro moth species, the task of identifying them presents a challenge.

Great capture!
The mating of this specie!
It's some sort of Zygaenidae, but I don't know the specie.
Very good POV!
Very good colours!
TFS!

Hi Dayananda,
