Species 67?

[Common Rose]

This one was shot in dim light. AF fail! :-( Have to use MF. Took only 2 shots and it flew off. Luckily one of the shots still looks a bit ok; took quite some time in PS to make it more presentable. :sweat:

It looked quite fat. :bsmile: I can't seem to be able to id it. Anyone?

Sorry to dispoint you but indeed it's a Moth :-( most of us the serious butts watchers have been fooled by this one our first encounter of this species :hello:

Heh heh... now Neo can go test all those "experts" out there who think they know all about identifying butts and moths.

This is a moth species of the Callidula genus. You can read about some of the other species here (http://www.geocities.com/RainForest/Vines/8983/moths/callidul.html) and here (http://www.geocities.com/RainForest/Vines/8983/moths/sumatren.html).

It really flies like a butt, and hops around in the dark shady forest canopy. Not easy to shoot.

Thanks for the id.

Seems like I'm just following 'footpath' that pple have gone thru'. :bsmileo: :hello:

Somehow I must have felt odd and decided to post this species separately and titled it as 'Species 67?'
Might be because of the fat abdomen.
