MothsNigth Butterfly
Hi there, I am a huge fan of all kind of living things and everytime I have the chance to take a picture of an uncommon situation or visitor like in this case, I simply love it. After sending the picture to you guys I have made some researches and found out that this nocturnal butterfly has the common name as: The Black Witch. The scientific name is Ascalapha Adorata. I also think this is a male. I believe this beatiful visitor entered last night to rest and for its good I hope tonight continues his journey because I am afraid someone could have the bad idea to kill it since this is not very common to have in the house and because of its looks. Well hope you like it because I like your site. I visit it everytime I found a new species for me. By the way, my name is Federico Fontana, I am argentinian and actually I am in Salvador de Bahia, in Brazil. There is where i found this beautiful animal. Take care,
Federico Fontana
Hi Federico,
Thanks so much for sending your photo of a Black Witch Moth, Ascalapha odorata. We get photos of this species from parts of the U.S., especially Texas and Florida, in October. It truly is a beautiful moth.
