Something else to mention. Those enormous feathered antennae are present only on the day-flying males. The largely nocturnal females don't need them. They are there mainly to pick up her sex-attractant pheromone and can detect a few molecules on the wind from up to about ten miles away. The males can then follow the trail to its source and have a good time.
