Howdy!!
It is time to learn something cool today!
Have you heard of the famous painter Pablo Picasso? Well
guess what? There is a beautiful insect called the Picasso moth. It is so
beautiful it looks like Pablo Picasso painted the moth himself. The Picasso
moth’s scientific name is Baorissa hieroglyphica. Some moths are just as
beautiful as butterflies are. The Baorissa hieroglyphica is one of those
beautiful moths. It is so beautiful it looks like a painter painted beautiful
brush strokes of color on it. With your parent/caretaker’s permission google Baorissa
hieroglyphica and see how beautiful the moths are.
What is the strangest insect you have ever seen?
Facts about the Picasso Moth:
1. The Picasso moth can be found living in Northeast India
and Southeast Asia.
2. There are over 155,000 different species of moths living
all over the world. Here is a list of some of those moths in alphabetical order:

3. The Picasso moth is a nocturnal insect. They are usually
most active during the night and rest during the day. They do almost all of
their traveling during the night time hours.
4. The Picasso moth feeds mostly on the nectar from
different plants. They are herbivores. Picasso moths are pollinators too. A
pollinator can be any insect that carries pollen from one flower/plant to
another.
5. The Picasso moth has four wings. The two top wings are
called the forewings and the bottom two wings are called the hindwings. When
the Picasso moth has its wings folded up it sort of resembles the shape of an isosceles
triangle.

very well-done replicas of the beautiful Picasso moth.

a catalog of Asian butterflies and moths that was made by a British
