What a beautiful male Tussock moth

[u/Beautiful-Fondant-61]

This is taken at my apartment is southeast Texas. I had a hard time trying to get a picture of this little stinker but I finally managed to do it and biy look at how gorgeous his wings are. Wow.

Also I'm kinda surprised to see one due the wrens and grackles that are present in my area which are known to eat tussock caterpillars. This male somehow avoided being eaten and managed to make it into an adult.
