Walker's Moth (Sosxetra grata), is a distinctive, hairy noctuid moth found in Central and South American cloud forests (Costa Rica to Peru/Brazil). The moth possesses unusual, thick tufts of hair that are not just for warmth; they appear to sense vibrations in the air, alerting the moth to predators or changes in airflow. It can fly in the chilly nights due to the ability to change its body temperature.
