A tropical tiger moth has once again stopped by my house to take shelter from the heavy rain at night. This is not a coincidence because whenever it rains, there are so many insects that come to my house, especially at night, but don’t ask me where they come from.

I managed to find a moth with extraordinary beauty resting on the kitchen wall of my house. It did not fly, as if its body was feeling very weak, but when I tried to touch it, it immediately flew away. Photographing this moth with the help of a macro lens is something I really hope to do, but I have never found this moth during the daytime, so it is very difficult to photograph it at night because of the lack of light.I really like it because it has such beautiful colors. Its head and abdomen are yellowish-orange with several small black spots on the upper part, while its forewings are brownish or dull orange, with streaks and small white spots in the middle.
