What a macro shot, John! I have never tried stacking, and of course with most living creatures, that isn't an option. Excellent detail.

Very cool. I might have named this " Rough Customer" .....He looks like a rugged sort of guy! Or " Rode Hard" ... sad

Shirley
Moths are ideal for stacking as they do tend to stay still once they have settled in the daylight.

A fine look at this "big hairy beast", John. A great close look at this moth. Your stacking looks good, especially in the body region where there are so many fine hairs. Getting that overlapped hair to show well in a stack is a challenge that I'm well aware of.

Hi John,

A nice mugshot of this little moth. Fairly bright, but details are quite evident. Well done.......................Jim
