This specimen was collected in November of 1962 by Ed . . . → Preberite več: Ponedeljek Moth Skupna raba tega!

This Monday moth is a stunning female of the Neotropical Megalopygidae – Trosia nigrorufa. Ed Ross and Ev Schlinger collected this specimen in Peru in 1955, and I’ve heard many stories about these epic expeditions.
