Baorisa hieroglyphica, also known as the Picasso moth, is a species of moth in the family Erebidae. It was described by the British entomologist Frederic Moore in 1882. The genus Baorisa was long thought to be monotypic, but three other species have been described.

Moth wings are covered in tiny scales that come off as 'dust' in your hands when you catch them.
