Description
Moths seem to keep cropping up in my work over the years! Seconds before the heavens opened and deluged Paxton with a hailstorm on 29th November, Cassie found this one which was sheltering on the pool deck. She took it to a safer place and I took many macro shots of it with my digicam. Very easy indeed as all it wanted to do was stay motionless (it didn't even mind Cass handling it and moving it) and so I could get as close as I wanted without it being disturbed. A very willing subject!
Thank you for taking a look and your feedback is always appreciated :-)

It's that amazing Nikon macro, isn't it? Put to excellent use here. Funny, something about the clean yellow background makes me think of it as a studio shot. Nice one!

It was actually outside on the front verandah - the house really is that shade of yellow, it's very warm and stands out among all the other houses here!

It feels funny commenting on your images at the moment as you've already heard what I think L. This is a great photo of such an endearing 'little' (he was quite big hey?) guy, he was so patient and I was so happy to see you able to capture him so beautifully big hugs xxx

EWWWWWWWW!!!! Moths are the things i fear the most, lol. I think they are soooo gross!!! But your capture is quite fantastic. The clarity and crispness is perfect!!!!! Maybe by staring at this for the rest of the day, i might overcome my fear huh? LOL. Have a great one. #:O)

I am so in the Sami things now, that I at once saw this as a "Nd" wich is the Sami word for Shaman.

I've never seen one like this - what a great find, and the angle of the photo, and detail are excellent.

Don't you just love those calm creatures that let you get all the photos you want. They don't come around too often. Beautiful macro shot!!

One of the great things about RR is being able to see new things from all over the world. I've never seen a "hairy" moth. This little or big moth is so fascinating. I really like the wood it is on and the beautiful summer color in the background. Excellent shot of a cooperative subject. V
