  1. Mmmm…. spooky to me…

    Let me see…

    Does its name start with "G"?

  2. You know what get me struck of this? Her "smart" camouflage in her visage.

    Probably you know the answer…

    How is it posible that her genetic code acquired the information during years of mutation and evolution to produce such perfect drawing that resemble a bigger and dangerous animal?… I mean how can Chaos and Emergence explain such purity and precision in a pattern, without a conciousness?

    Because her genes couldn´t see her from the outside and say "k, let´s draw an eye here, another there, a couple of lines that resemble a mouth… et voilá, le butterfly est trés dangerouse!"

    With examples as these I feel there is something missing yet for science to find out… and nevertheless I am bringing the idea of god here. Vade Retro. 😉

  3. it takes millions of iterative tests of survival to accumulate order with the simple algorithm of evolution.

    The opening to Dawkins’ Blind Watchmaker might help address precisely this marvel that people have observed in different forms before…

  4. Must admit that the book title is eye-catching

    0-)

    ps. Dawkins is a meme.

    pss. Da moth buzzes and vibrates her wings, bewildered.

  5. Looks like a hawk moth of some sort.

    It’s not a Manduca, though; the closest I can get is this Eumorpha fasciatus.

    Hm?

  6. A fine proposal…. The consensus is going to have to come from the group….. let me ping an expert….

  7. It seems to be an Oleander Hawk-moth (daphnis nerii), which is extremely rare here in Europe. More pictures here and there.

  8. demonographer… you are GREAT! (and correct!) =D

    thank you, thank you, thank you…

  9. Fantastic! She’s the one. The puzzle comes to an end after only 6.5 months.

    You sure know your demons. 😉

  11. I just noticed it sitting on this glass table top and grabbed my camera…

  12. That is really FANTASTIC, I tried to guess here is it real or not :PPP

  14. Fantastic shot! It kind of reminds me of a plane too! The markings are so beautiful, don’t know if I would want to meet one though.
