Wasp Moth (Trichaetoides apicalis)
I found this wasp moth somewhere around the grass on the hill. It was flying just above the surface of the grass when it noticed me coming and settled again when I was away. Moths are simply everywhere. I just noticed a few of them flying low and disappearing into the grass. In order to get the pictures, I had to wait until they came back out and try to focus on one of them. It's not an easy job to hunt them; patience is quite needed if I wanted to get a proper focus, so after spending some time, I was finally able to catch it. Moths are included in the paraphyletic group of insects that includes all members of the order Lepidoptera. Due to this moth was tiny, I had to manage to take shots with a smartphone plus an external macro device, in which I could capture the real appearance of this cute moth through that lens.
