Idk but I'm really scared of these. However it looks beautiful 😅

Why scared? They're just like any other works of nature. 😅

I know, I just have a thing like I'm scared of small living things. 😅 I am also afraid of dogs but I love dogs, I know it sounds strange. 😬

I understand. I know some people like that too.

Haha, it's really complicated.

It is the last name on your list: the African handmaiden moth....looks very much like a wasp or even hornet.
From research,they evolved to look like a dangerous wasp to trick predators into avoiding it.Nature is fascinating and absolutely full of surprises like this.

Oh, really? Thank you.

Wow, it's so beautiful. Judging from the color of its body, it looks like an Amata kilimandjaronis wasp, but I'm not sure about the pattern on its wings.

Okay, will check it out.
Thank you

For me looks more like a moth.

It's a moth. The exact name is what I'm looking for.

Wow, she's got beautiful colours. The ones that I saw around here were just brown and black.

Yes, very beautiful. There are so many of them, almost alike. That's why it's tough to id it.

Ovely blue moth 😍
