Nature Fine Art Painting, Original Watercolor Painting, Wildlife,"COMET MOTH-VINTAGE” The Art of Nature, Fine Art by Mindy Lighthipe

This Comet Moth is a male. How do I know this???? The tails are unusually long. The female has a much shorter tail and a heavier, fuller body. Also the antenna on the males are feathery. This is so they can pick up pheromones released by the females. This is a spectacular moth and is enormous as well as colorful.
