I've never seen one of these, Ian. Excellent detail. I also like the lichens on the perch. Well done.

Again, you have a wonderful creature perched on an almost equally interesting perch. Great attention to detail, lighting, and background. Love all the fuzz on this guy. :smile: Another great shot, Ian!

Great detail in this unusual moth. Love it's name!
The green and yellow lichens against the green BG are terrific.
Fine image!

Well taken, Ian! An interesting perch, an intricately detailed subject and a nice buttery BG. :toast:
