    Amazing photo of a very intricately-designed insect, Rolf!

    One thing though..... why Twenty PLume Moth - when it has 24 plumes in that pic?

    Seriously though, I'd never have thought it would have looked so amazing when enlarged like that!

    What does it live on?

    But look at it this way - the name "hexadactyla" means 6 fingered (I think!), so at least the common name is closer
