The male emperor moth. It has to be said that this is, without doubt, one of the most beautiful of UK moths. Unlike most moths, this one flies by day and, given its size and colour, you could be forgiven for thinking it is a butterfly. In the last two years I have been fortunate, using the female pheromone, to lure a single male to my garden in Aberaeron each year but, yesterday, I was blessed with three males; this one was photographed and all released.

The color of this fly on this yellow Asiatic Lily caught my eye right away. This was a fairly calm creature as it allowed me to get fairly close to it with the Tokina AT-X 90mm f2.5 Macro lens. I got a few shots off before I tried to get closer and that was just too much for this creature as it darted off.
from the archives-- aren't weeds beautiful? this is chicory and grows in abundance along our roadsides.
Please view large if you like.
In this shot the tongue is clearly visible - it is a complex structure associated with maxillary and labial palps, one of which can be seen here too.

Lavendar: This shot from a late-afternoon walk yesterday proves two things: I do know some flowers...and not all florals need to be shot in macro format. :)
Would you like to read the paper?

Things I ♥ Month Continues! Given the President's Day holiday, it was super easy getting around the city yesterday...so even though it was snowing lightly on & off, I was able to grab a few shots of the ferris (bueller) wheel at Navy Pier.
Machinery: Whether it's the inner workings of a computer, the motor of a ferris wheel, or the engine of my bike, I love delving into the mechanics of things. Ever watch "How It's Made" on Discovery? If I happen to stumble on a marathon of that show--there goes the day.

Macro Mondays, Redux 2022, need to find a photo to one of the themes of 2022. The list of all themes and some more statistics can be found here , www.flickr.com/groups/macromonday/discuss/72157721915254700/
Since there is so much to choose, sharp, Monday 19th September seems to be an obvious choice. I am sure the Hornhauthobel or callus scraper is able to remove something.
Curves, Monday 11th of November seems to 9
Not to forget Reflections, as on Monday 4th. The white as you see it, is mostly the reflection of the soft box on the highly reflective surface
So, and since it’s quite hard to estimate the size, the removable scrapper part is in total approx. 6 x 3 cm. But on display are approx. 2.5 x 1.25 cm.
That doesn’t make sense to estimate 0.5 mm says my engineering mind, but that’s when you split 1 mm.
Other than this, single monolight with a large softbox with an inner and outer white cover to soften the light.
Feel free to leave comments and constructive feedback. No P1/C1 or seen in group and similar.
