Picasso moth** (*Baorisa hieroglyphica*)

We’ve featured a lot of interesting moth wing patterns on Oddity Central, from species that look like twig fragments or dead leaves, to some that depict flies feeding on bird droppings. They all have camouflage purposes, but in the case of the Picasso moth, the role of its pattern is still unclear. Some speculate that it depicts a red insect head with antennae and legs, but it’s not very clear.
