Awesome reception - _TNY_0210

Check out the antenna on this male yellow-barred long-horn (Nemophora degeerella), also known as the longhorn moth.

 

The name is quite fitting as the black part which shows clearly in my shot is only the central part - the real length is actually long enough to go out of frame on boght sides of the photo.

 

Males of this species can actually have antennae that are *five* times their body length!
