Meet the Emperor!
Jonathan & Denise >
Meet the Emperor Moth that we found on a paving stone : we relocated it to a safer place – on a warm sunny spot with foliage close by. The Emperor – this is a male – goes in search of females during daylight, even though the females only emerge at night!

What a pretty fellow! Muy bonito! I know those eye like spots are supposed to help confuse predators, while the color is supposed to help him blend in with dead leafy coloration and deep shade. I love the bits of red on his wingtips. Are the girlies that he is looking for as colorful as he is?

What a beauty!
