Hello my steemit friends.

Yesterday I get a beautiful moth.
This moth I found perched on the leaves of a cashew tree. He seemed very calm. The wings are black and white. Some of his head and body covered with orange hairs with black stripes.
Two antennas on his head were black with white on the tip.
I'm trying to shoot with my smartphone.

Moth is a type of insect very similar to a butterfly. almost no difference between them.

Scientific classification :

Kingdom : Animalia
Clade : Euarthropoda
Class : Insecta
Ordo : Lepidoptera
(unranked): Heterocera

Actually moths are animals that are classified as pests in agriculture.
Moths can cause severe damage to fruit crops.
When compared to mosquitoes and flies, moths are quite resistant and less susceptible to pesticides.

This moth looks very beautiful and detailed after I added a macro lens on my smartphone. To take a picture with a very close distance requires caution. Otherwise, the moth will be shocked and fly.

Here are some pictures I took with my smartphone + Macro Lens.
