This is the long elusive poodle moth. Dr. Arthur Anker, snapped this photo in Venezuela. He's a specialist interested in "taxonomy, diversity and phylogeny" of shrimp and insects and shared the discovery with the world on his Flickr page. When a new species is discovered, science has to find where it fits with other species. As they've never seen the poodle moth before, scientists will use apparent evolutionary steps to create theories as to it's evolution. This simple photo sparked a wide scientific debate in the entomological community.
