A friend from Texas, US sent me these photos of a moth with something apparently clinging to it. What might it be?
CLOSED: Parasite?
I suspect that this is a plant seed of some kind. The only ectoparasites of moths that I am aware of are mites and nematodes, and this specimen obviously is neither of those.
Thank you.
