A photo of a narrow bodied moth from above. The moth has black head, antennae, wings, and legs which shimmer with a blue iridescence. The wings are the iridescent black along the edges, but clear in the middle. The abdomen of the moth is bright orange red with some iridescence. The end of the moth's tail has a fan-like spray of iridescent black scales whch looks something like a shrimp's tail.
A photo of the moth from the side showing the iridescent black legs, antennae, wing edges, and forebody. The orange red abdomen can be seen through the transparent wing parts.
I really should not have looked at the news 😐
We need bonus #MothMonday content. This ridiculous friend with the shrimp booty and the clear wings is the Pecan Bark Borer Moth, Synanthedon geliformis, a clearwing moth, the #Sesiidae
