Fossil from China

Richard Fisher writes, "Here is a fossil moth that I recently obtained from China. It is Late Jurassic age.

Late Jurassic age is about 135,000,000 years old. I thought it might be of interest to some of the moth collectors.

The moth, as shown, has a measurement of 7 cm from upper wing tip to upper wing tip.

B. d'Abrera is taking a look at it for possible identification at the British Museum.

The color pattern is preserved on this specimen."
