~Moths For Tea~
I found this messy eater and he was happy enough to pose for a series of shots, I would of loved a cleaner subject, but I kind of liked all the moth scales all over his face. This is also one of my deepest handheld focus stacks of a Damselfly face to date. This was a 15 image focus stack of the head at x4 magnification, taken at F/7.1, shutter speed 1/160 and ISO 200.
This chap was a reminder that the LRD season will be over soon, this one had been in the wars, it only had 3 of its wings, the 4th was shrivelled up and it was missing part of its left front leg. It looked like it was crawling about the undergrowth eating moths, but I was surprised when it eventually flew away.
