Great Reception - _TNY_8795
Not exactly the closest shot I've taken, but the antennae on this male common heath (Ematurga atomaria) looked so cool that I figured it would be worth posting it anyway.
They use their antennae to locate females from impressively far distances away. The ladies, who don't need to go looking, have more normal-looking ones.
For a shot of how the female and her thin antennae look, have a peek here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/36404291520/
