Wildlife Photographer Shares Mesmerizing Footage Of A Giant Brahmin Moth With Tiger Eye Wing Pattern

When ask about the process of taking this video, Wriller said: “Some shots need maybe 1 day or 1 week to get, this was simple shot, moths are relatively easy to take picture of in the cold hours of the early morning as they are not yet warm enough to fly away and stay relatively still. The next morning, at dawn, it was still sitting quietly on the same spot. I set up my tripod, camera and macro lens, and started to take a few pictures and videos of it slowly getting warm by flapping its wings. A few minutes later it, the sun came up and it flew away toward the blue sky.”

This moth belongs to the Brahmin moth family, also known as Brahmaeidae. Their family consists of 7 different genera of nearly 40 different moth species.
