Benny's diet is very specialized, consisting mainly of the interior of Ramy nuts, nectar from the Traveller's Palm tree, some fungi and insect grubs. He is also known to raid coconut plantations, and has been seen eating lychees and mangoes, which are also plantation crops.

Hot Moth Action

Category: MothPhotographyinsect
Posted on: June 9, 2008 11:41 AM, by ableiman

Time once again for some of Igor Siwanowicz's spectacular insect photography. We've brought you his mantis photos in the past (#1 , #2, and #3) so we decided to switch it up and take a look at some of his moths. Unfortunately Igor doesn't tell us which species we are looking at, but maybe some of our entomologically inclined readers will chime in.

This last one might be a butterfly, but that's a killer proboscis...

Isn't the third one down a member of Electric Mayhem?

These are great! Number two should be called the Wooly Mammoth Moth.

one time an old friend, her mom, and I were watching a sci-fi movie called Mansquito.

Her mom, in the middle of the movie, asked "Is that your proboscis or are you just happy to see me?"

Funniest thing I've ever heard a mom say. :D

Utterly incredible pics! Wow!

Funny to think that there must be teeny little creatures that DO see these guys as huge colourful monsters...

They're so fuzzy! I'd go hug a moth but I'm sure it wouldn't end well.
