This moth was hanging out on my door when I came home late one night. I was shocked with how large it was. I have not personally seen a moth of this size before.
saw this unique very small insect and found it so beautiful. it isn't easy to photograph as it keeps on moving about. it is slightly smaller than the tip of a pencil eraser. anyone can assist me identifying this insect?
I have found these chaps exceedingly difficult to photograph. I have shed loads of out of focus shots. However perseverance pays. In focus at last.
