Lovely little crowned slug moth (Isa textula) that showed up right on the table, away from the big lights. It must have known I have a thing for photographing insects on top of printed pages ;-).

Today's motivational/emergency moth is the monkey slug moth, Phobetron hipparchia. It's a species of cup moth (Limacodidae) named after it's fantastic looking caterpillar, which you can see below. (I think cup moths as a group are named after the shape of their cocoons, it's not that they can't get by without tea or anything.)
Anyway... May this moth bring you joy today, may we one day achieve it's level of fluffy sass.
All the images are from the late Andreas Kay, whose work lives on via the extraordinary archive of pictures he gave us of Ecuador's wildlife. Find more of his pictures of this moth here.
