EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo captures the enchanting moment when a White-spotted Sable Moth takes a break from its graceful flight to indulge in some refreshing minerals. Nestled among the picturesque Pontic Mountains in Anatolia, Turkey, this daring adult moth fearlessly lands on damp ground to quench its thirst and replenish its energy reserves. With delicate wings adorned by white spots, it's no wonder this elegant creature stands out against the backdrop of European wet nature. As an arthropod enthusiast, photographer Bob Gibbons has expertly captured the beauty and curiosity of this tiny lepidopteran marvel. This micro moth belongs to the Crambidae family and is known for its day-flying habits – truly defying expectations! Intriguingly enough, these moths aren't just found in Europe; they also grace Asian landscapes with their presence. Their ability to adapt and thrive across continents showcases their resilience and wanderlust spirit. So next time you're exploring mountains or hiking through lush terrains, keep an eye out for these incredible creatures sipping on nature's very own mineral cocktail. Let us raise our glasses (or rather magnifying glasses) to celebrate this extraordinary display of wildlife diversity!
