Haha - great caption! They look like they have plumes on their heads.

@tara11 Yeah, I don't know what that is. It seems to be common for a particular family. I shall investigate!

Thom! I was JUST thinking about you yesterday....I was wondering if you were still posting. I don't get on here to look at pics enough....and was not sure. And then this is first on my newsfeed tonight. These are FUNKY moths! I cannot wait to hear what they are.
