Hightailing It, Pt. 2 - _TNY_6855S4
And here's another sweet moth sleeping outside my house when I get home from work at night.
This one is a male and has the rather wonderful name of small chocolate-tip (Clostera pigra).
The Swedish name is also cool - "pärlgrå högstjärt" actually means pearl-grey hightail (the latter as it likes to hold the rear of the abdomen up like in this shot). The fact that "stjärt" also means butt makes it a little extra funny.
This is a focus stack made from four shots which were compiled into a single photo with greater depth of field using Zerene Stacker.

For a shot of the same little fuzzball, but on my fingertip instead, have a look here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/51526997032/
Also, a portrait shot here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/52038860298/
