The comet moth or Madagascar moon moth.

One of the most legendary butterflies in the world! Due to its size and unusual shape of the lower wings smoothly turning into long tails! Butterfly tails help to balance during flight.

Immediately, we note the peculiarity of the peacock-eyed moths, they do not eat at all, because do not have a proboscis, they do not need it, a large caterpillar before pupating (turning into a pupa) fed on a large amount of stocks and transferred them to the butterfly, therefore Peacock eyes have large belly. Until the butterfly uses it up - she lives.

A comet is a moth and is only active at night (or in the dark). In the daytime, a butterfly sits in one place, and, when disturbed, it can begin to randomly fly around the room. Her tails are quite tender and can easily be damaged in her very first days. The recommendation is how to take her in your arms - gently and slowly, placing the hand or finger under her legs, she should slowly crawl, which is not always possible.
