Hello to all insect lovers, today for the first time I am going to share a post in this great community which I recently joined on the recommendation of @anibal-aa
I tell you that since I was a child I have loved insects, contrary to some people who are afraid or phobic of them, I am particularly passionate about butterflies, I am a faithful admirer of these fascinating insects that captivate us with their bright colors.

In this opportunity I share with you a series of photographs that I took with my cell phone of this beautiful butterfly that was in the hallway of my apartment, I do not know how the hell it got there, but I knew I could not leave it in that place because it would not survive so I grabbed it carefully and took it to the garden.
It landed for a long time on the plants and then flew away and was lost in my sight.

According to what I researched about this butterfly it belongs to the Sphingidae which are a family of glossy lepidoptera of the clade Ditrysia of robust body and generally fast flight; most of them have narrow, pointed forewings, although some have wider, scalloped wings and fly more slowly.

Me parece que se trata de una polilla y no de una mariposa. Esto, a partir de la forma en que extienden las alas y que por lo que puedo ver las antenas lucen plumosas.

Saludos.

That's a very pretty moth @alexegarcia98

maybe if you take this picture in macrophotography the results are really amazing ..color, shape of fins and others will look quite beautiful.

thank you for visiting our community.
