Hi people,
As most of you know, I am not onto moths. However I do have some soft spots for particular moths, especially a few ones from the family Noctuidae. Hereby I am sharing with you a moth which in my opinion I consider it to be the queen of moths. The first time I saw its picture in the book "Moths of Thailand" I couldn't stop wondering the fun God had in creating the evolutionary process of this moth. I'm sure that when Kollar described this species in 1844 he was as fascinated by its beauty as much as me. This is definitely one of those gems in my collection.
For your eyes only, enjoy my Erebus albicinctus Kollar, 1844 specimen which comes from Vietnam.
Apparently it is very difficult to catch a perfect specimen. My specimen is close to 95% perfect which to my standards is good enough, however I slightly photoshoped the pictures to make them look close to 100% perfect.
