According to the Vatican the Christmas period extends until the first Sunday after Kings Day.
So it is still time to express my desire that all my Flickr's friends have had a happy and blessed Christmas, and that this festive climate of peace, faith and friendship extends throughout 2025.
I still can't find time to be at Flickr as I did it earlier, but I just mean that I miss all you and the affection along the ten years I was most active here.
See you soon!

Cytheronia Brisotii/ Skull moth is a Species of Lepidoptera in the Family of Giant Silkworm Moths.

From a huge horns caterpillar called “Infernal Caterpillar” and “Devil's Caterpillar” one could not expect anything else: it turns into a moth that has the design of a angry skull on each wing. But this species is completely harmless, both in the state of caterpillar and in the form of moth.
Skull -shaped designs on the wings of these moths are unique in each specimen, as are our fingerprints.

Since they do not feed as adults, they should live shortly, probably not much more than a week. But this is compensated for its reproduction efficiency.

*This is all I found in the web about this strange moth I photographed last September at the same hotel I use to see hummingbirds.

Happy Halloween to all my Flickr friends!
