Duster moth

This is a Duster (Pingasa abyssiniaria, Geometridae, span ca. 4cm) resting at the base of a miombo tree (Mikembo sanctuary, DR Congo, Katanga, January 2014). It is fairly easily recognised by its pale speckled design with two thin black dentate lines on the fore wings and just one on the hind wing. An easy subject for stacking ... you have all day :-)

Field stack based on 54 images (ISO100, f/5.6, 1/4sec, natural diffused light); assembled in ZereneStacker (Dmap & Pmax), uncropped image, about 5cm wide.
