User's notes

An historical sighting. This was one of two moths sighted early morning, in the rain. Both very active and with this moth (the moth on the right in the fourth image) chasing the other moth. Presumably male and female? The other moth is shown in sighting 4230314.

Two males fighting for dominance. Even hyper-intelligent male Homo sapiens do it.
