Brahmin Moth
Why are you reporting this puzzle?
On one of David Weiller’s many expeditions to the rainforest, he was drawn like a moth to a flame to a slumbering Brahmaea Hearseyi moth occupying a nearby tree trunk. “This was a lucky find as it was attracted at night to the light of my bungalow,” says the wildlife photographer. What makes this moth so different from any other? Well, it’s wings look like a pair of tiger eyes.
“When I saw [the Brahmin Moth], freshly hatched and with its striking patterns, I was so surprised. After observing it fly around the light for a while, it settled for the night on a nearby tree trunk,” Weiller explains. “The next morning, at dawn, it was still sitting quietly on the same spot. I set up my tripod, camera, and macro lens, and started to take a few pictures and videos of it slowly getting warm by flapping its wings. A few minutes later, the sun came up and it flew away toward the blue sky.”
