Njengoko i-fortune yayiya kuba nayo, ndandifuna ukunambitha imbongolo ye-mopane ixesha elithile, kwaye kwakubonakala ngathi ixesha lifikile. Naphezu kwegama labo, iipopane izibungu azikho iimbungu kuzo zonke, kodwa inambuzane yeentlobo ze-emperor moth eyaziwa njengeGonimbrasia belina .

Inkolelo yokuqala yesikhumbuzo se-mopane yayingekho embi kakhulu, ifihliwe yigalikhi kunye anyanisi.
Kodwa njengoko ndiqhubeka ndihlafuna, ukunambitheka kwangempela kwavulwa kwaye ndafumanisa umxube wehlabathi, ityuwa kunye ne-drywall. Kwakungekho kuhle kakhulu. Ndayilawula ukuyigxotha ekugqibeleni kwaye ngenxa yokuba le nto yayingumcimbi wezokhenketho, ndade ndifumene isatifikethi sokukubonisa.
