Couldn't be more pleased with the way this über-cute male atlas moth (Attacus atlas) posed for me at the Haga Ocean butterfly house in Solna, Sweden.
I mean, it is asleep here as it is nocturnal, but the place it chose to sit on was most excellent, offering me access from several angles.
Here it is showing the dorsal side of the wings: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/52779769278/
and here from the other side, showing the dorsal side of the wings: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/52790784864/
This is one of the better shots I've taken for seeing the impressive antennae the males use to locate the females in the darkness of night.
