The B-52 Bomber Moth !!

Another hot scorching day in Bangkok today but as the afternoon approaches so does the monsoon storm bringing thunder , lighting and rain i decide to open my balcony sliding door to let some of that cool fresh air in and before i could pull the screen doors across a huge Moth invited itself in escaping the rain well i wasn't going to argue with him as it looked like a B-52 Bomber and i love these bombers so i just let it be i don't mind Moth's at least they find a spot to land and basically just hang there till they decide to leave.

Moths are a polyphyletic group of insects that includes all members of the order Lepidoptera that are not butterflies.They are closely related to butterflies, which evolved from them. They also have wings, just like butterflies. Most species of moths are active only at night well this one was. They can be distinguished apart from butterflies in several ways. Moth antenna look like little feathers, and their wings are held flat on their backs when they are not flying.

Can you believe that their are approximately 160,000 species of moth, many of which have yet to be described that is a hell of a lot of Moth's getting around but they a amazing species to look at.
