Not sure what this is
Hi – could you please assist me with what kind of moth this is? Thanks
Gloeta

Gloeta, Could you show this to your science colleagues who might be able to tell me what it is ? I came across this beautiful "thing" the other day and tried to get a clear picture. Thanks for your input.
