The beauty of this group of wasp moth habitats is very environmentally friendly, their attitude is very gentle from the way they adapt to the objects around them. This shot is especially cute when they are engrossed in their silence on the leaves. Yesterday when I was in the fields shocked by a group of honey wasps, I thought they were very wild and dangerous, I kept them a few meters away from me.

Great shots and great that I had to look up all the plants since I had no clue when reading the scientific names 😂

Loving those patterns on its wing. That must be a local insect to you, I do not think I have seen that variety of moth around me.

@solominer Yes, they are insects that are commonly found in tropical regions, small rural forests are part of their life. Amata huebneri is a gentle animal and is very environmentally friendly.
