Description
Theretra is often mistaken for hummingbirds due to their rapid, hovering flight pattern and affinity for flowers. These creatures expertly navigate through twilight using acute visual sensitivity, a trait less common in most moths, challenging the stereotype that all moths are simple, dull fliers. Possessing a strikingly elongated body and a proboscis for sipping nectar, Theretra represents a fascinating convergence of evolutionary form and function, showcasing the complexity and beauty in nature's designs.
