Description

Hi there. Today the shot after tickling the moth-man. He is spreading his wings to show the eyes on the hind wings. That should scare some enemies. The belly is bended to build an arch and, if you don't stop tickling, the moth sprays a light yellow fluid in your direction. That's it for the moth series - no more hatchings at this time...hope for some more (31 pupae left) in the next days. Have all a great day and please zoom in.

Those colours are vivid! Quite an amazing specimen! My advice: a higer F-Stop would yield more focus for the entire moth- but honestly, a great capture regardless!
