EDITORS COMMENTS
Talk about a high-altitude spa retreat! This Chamomile Shark moth knows how to relax in style, even with some unwanted guests hitching a ride. Sporting the latest fashion trend of parasitic mites on its antenna, this chic insect is taking lounging to new heights on a lichen-covered twig in the stunning Cannobina Valley of the Italian Alps. With its delicate wings and intricate patterns, this adult Cucullia chamomillae is truly a sight to behold. But what makes it truly unique are those tiny mites that have decided to make themselves at home on its antennae. Who needs an entourage when you can have your very own parasite posse? Surrounded by breathtaking mountain scenery and vibrant alpine flora, our fashionable friend seems right at home in this picturesque setting. With summer in full swing, it's no wonder these moths choose these montane mountains as their playground. So next time you're feeling stressed or overwhelmed, take a cue from our Chamomile Shark moth and find your own serene spot amidst nature's beauty. Just remember - while relaxation may be key, try not to attract any freeloaders like these pesky mites! Photographed by Gianpiero Ferrari for FLPA Images, this snapshot captures both the wonders of European wildlife and the unexpected surprises that come along with them.
