Hello Francisco,

I think that if I ever go to Brazil, I will never wear a red shirt!!!

A beautiful and very large specimen you have captured, both on your hand and in the camera.

Great job, I especially like the eye details.

Thank you for sharing it with us!

I will look for an ID from this page to see what the name is.

Hi Fransico.
Sorry I can't help you with the ID.
The details are very good.
Good POV and nice colours.
Well done.

Francisco:
Not easy to identify a moth from this angle, but this looks like a Black Witch (moth), Ascalapha odorata. You may wish to compare with Paulo Sousa's picture here.

Hi Francisco,
This does look like the money bat (black witch moth). It's a big chap. Nicely done, good detail colours and sharpness. Thanks for posting, Enjoy the rest of the week.
