What an interesting shape this moth has. I am partial to photographing the moths that are attracted to my bedside light – using my cell phone – so really enjoy the professional photographs you have been treating us to.
Thank you very much π They can take some patience to photograph, especially as this species hardly ever keeps still and usually flies off as soon as you position the camera π
It is tiny, and when I have opened my trap in the morning they are all nice and cosy hiding in the egg boxes I place in there. But they don’t always want to keep still when I go to photo them, and that can be one of the biggest challenges π
Quite a distinctive pattern there.

Seen from above, the dorsal pattern is quite attractive. I only have to single click.

The double-click works from the main blog page … not sure when in the reader.

I don’t use the reader so maybe that’s a difference.

It should still work … may be gremlins in the system.

Maybe I said it in a confused way. I do see the enlarged image but only have to click once, not twice.

You should be able to click once to enlarge, and then click a second time to get closer still π
