Difficult Subject, Pt. 3 - _TNY_3559

I've been hoping to find one of these green forester moths (Adscita statices) for quite some time and then I find one (a female) in Åva-Stensjödal in Tyresta National Park and she was most accomodating. Staying on her thistle and trying out multiple poses.

 

I am however not entirely pleased with the end results. The gorgeous metallic colours coupled with the dark head and underside made it difficult to light properly. Maybe the next one?

Also, in the bottom of this shot is a Prosternon tessellatum click beetle, which can be seen better in this shot with a couple of ants: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/52437622280/
