Thank you very much, Sandra 🙂 That last one was a bonus for me for they rarely open their wings like that 🙂

Great focus on that head of this moth. I’m always so busy looking at wings and legs I tend to forget about the interesting shape of insect’s heads.

Insect anatomy, though basically the same, does come in many different forms, which make them so interesting to me. Thank you 🙂

Gorgeous creature. Recently I had a moth settle on my arm during the day, and didn’t want to leave me. It was as beautiful as this one, but it was difficult to photograph it one handed! When it was eventually ready, it flew away. I love encounters such as this.
