Author's notes
The sequence of images show a newly emerged Goat moth climbing the trunk of an Acacia and then inflating its wings, over a 30 minute period. Image 5 shows the fluid filled casing that it emerged from at the base of the tree complete with scales floating in the fluid. Thanks to Marcus Leach for the initial sighting of this large and magnificent moth.
