No idea where the relevant threads are for this, nor how I ended here :unsure:

but the OP moth is a cracker :wassnnme:

The Venezuelan Poodle Moth

"The moth was spotted in the Gran Sabana region of Venezuela’s Canaima National Park several years ago. While it’s hard to get a sense of scale from the picture, the moth is small at a mere 28-38 mm (a little more than an inch) and feeds on herbaceous plants.

With over 11,000 species of moth in the Arctiidae family, classifying the furry moth has proven difficult. It has drawn comparisons to a muslin moth, but its exact classification remains unknown."

eta: where's the wildlife thread? Just couldn't find it :doh:
