Still Waters Posted December 14, 2017 #1 Share Posted December 14, 2017 An entomologist from the University of Gdansk in Poland has rediscovered a striking blue-and-white species of clearwing moth known only from a single faded and damaged museum specimen collected in 1887. The Oriental blue clearwing (Heterosphecia tawonoides) looks more like a bee, behaves more like a bee, and may even buzz like a bee, according to a paper published recently about the species in the journal Tropical Conservation Science.https://phys.org/news/2017-12-bee-mimicking-clearwing-moth-life-years.html Related: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
