The Difficult model, pt. 3 - _TNY_9945
The narrow-bordered five-spot burnet (Zygaena lonicerae) is a very pretty moth - but with all that soft black fur sucking up all the light, it can be a very difficult motive to photograph.
This one did it's best to be helpful, staying atop the thistle for a very long time and it was actually I who left before the moth did.
