"Dinosaurs and Meteorites" The Natural History Museum Gift Box Design

Over the last year, Museum scientists have described 552 new species. This year's cohort includes a dinosaur unlike anything seen before, worms from one of the most remote environments on Earth, jewel-like beetles and a meteorite that crash-landed in the UK. Each new species is a single jigsaw piece that, when added into the larger picture, allows scientists to get a better grasp on how all life on our planet – both past and present – is critical for our own survival. Two pinned moths. Both have jet black forewing, and black hind wings with a bright whiate patch. This rather striking Tabwecala robinsoni from Vanuatu is one of 13 new species of moths described this year.
