lepidoptera? i don't even knowptera!



imagine my surprise when the tasty-looking snack turned out to be
an enormous catfish leaping through the surface of the tree straight at me!

who, hungry for a moth with a six-inch wingspan, would recoil from the scowling, rampant fish?
i am no lepidopterist. although google produced some moths with similar markings on their wings,
i found none with the fish face on the thorax, and soon quit searching.
