🚨 Rare moth on the window alert 🚨 A 'Beautiful Plume Moth'. Maybe not that rare but I've never seen one before 🤷🏼‍♀️ #Wildlife #Insect #Moth
A strange insect sits on a window. It's long vertical body and straight horizontal wings create a T shape. It has stripey legs and a scorpion like curved tail.

Beside him, Saskia, a young white woman, is holding a green steering wheel Wii controller and shouting. A collection of people on stage at the Open Social Awards. The winners are holding small glass trophies. Beer pong is being played on a long table. A yellow ping pong ball is midair with Saskia, a young white woman dressed in all black, and Robin, a middle-aged white man in a hot pink suit, watching it. A screen can be seen with Mario Kart being played. One player is in first position, the other in twelth. The players are Saskia, a young white woman dressed in black, and Ben, a middle-aged white man with black hair and wearing a check shirt. The photo is taken from behind them so their expressions can't be seen. In the foreground, a white man can be seen wearing a Eurosky t-shirt, reading 'Eurosky - One identity. Infinite connections.'
