Not exactly sure of the id on this plume moth (possibly genus Dejongia) but the family remains every amazing to ogle when individuals show up at the light.

I’ve been drawing a design for my sona but yesterday I remembered my undying love for rooks and so I decided to draw a rook with that OC design’s hat, which is meant to have a bunch of roses around it and a bunch of wings in the centre (In case you couldn’t tell what that was supposed to be) the wings in the hat include the wings of a blue morpho, a damselfly (whatever species lives near me I’m not actually sure the specific species), a plume moth, a luna moth, Blue from Wings of Fire, and some moth antenae.
