Wow! I cant believe I found somthing this amazing in the gutter...
Walking to town and a crazy orange shape catches my eye coming from the gutter.. and it was this guy, a male Emperor Gum moth... Stunning.. This guy was huge, about 12-13cm ish wing span..
Biggest and most beautiful moth ive ever seen, I didnt even know we had these here in NZ I would also love to see a Puriri Moth They look amazing...
