Description

Nikon 7900 image. Early this past spring, I was going to the mailbox and as always, I keep my eyes open. From a distance of about 100 feet, I noticed an unusual white spot on a green leaf. Upon getting closer, I realized the white spot was a moth. I managed to get close enough for one shot before he moved on. It wasonly after downloading the image, that I realized I had not only captured this white moth, but a small spider as well. I am not able to identify either. Thanks to those who take the time to comment. Lee

I'm happy to know you are as camera-ready as I am... you go to the mailbox with your camera in hand. I do the same thing. :-) This is sure a pretty little moth. Amazing how you can see these things. Outstanding shot.
