This week's moth, Lithophane lamda, AKA "The Nonconformist" is also my 40th BIRTHDAY MOTH, and I tried to do it as some easter eggs for my niece! (paint was tricky on wet humid eggs in the tropics!)

Male moth and what looks like a caterpillar mating, but actually is a wingless adult female

Last #YearOfTheMoth of my 30's! #YearOfTheMoth Heterogynis penella.
This alpine moth females remain a wingless grub who lays eggs in her old cocoon and then gets devoured by her babies.
