Winter Coat, Pt. 2 - _TNY_4188
The brindled beauty (Lycia hirtaria), like this male, is a moth which is pretty well prepared for flying when the weather is cold with a quite heavy coat of fur. Even the bases of the antennae are furry!
This one was, like so many other moths, hanging out just outside my front door (in early March!) which really is a treat. Having the motive come to you sure makes this easier.
From this angle, the huge humpback on these guys is quite apparent and somehow I managed to capture a little eye detail here as well. Go me.
