A citizen has captured a colorful moth that has on its wing an image resembling the Saudi Arabian national emblem of two swords and the palm tree, according to a report by Okaz.
Yahya Al-Maliki said the moth's bright colors of the rainbow spectrum caught his attention as it fluttered from one tree to another at Al-Basteen neighborhood. When he watched it closely he saw the national emblem and decided to capture the insect with a paper cone.
Yahya said he will show the moth to an entomologist to identify its species and the environment where it lives.
