Moth Getting Pollen

I was on a school trip to Liwonde National Park when the students from the other boat came back very excited: they had seen something the guide did not know- which is extremely rare. One of them had taken a picture. Even with that, it was still not possible to identify the creature.
I was back at the Camp the following week-end when I spotted the same creature. I took my 300mm VR lens, and shot, handheld for a good 10 minutes before realising that it was not a bird but a moth.
