A nice capture of the moth Thad. Good clarity and details in the photo and beautiful colours in the scene.

Criticism, like rain, should be gentle enough to nourish a man's growth without destroying his roots. — Frank A. Clark

I've never heard of this moth. I'm going to have to read up on them. Nice photo.

Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

Thad, you did a superb job on the stop action of this busy little critter, they are a challenge to shoot, and so cool to watch.

Beautiful work Thad.
I am not familiar with this moth - what a strange tufty tail it has.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

A excellent capture Thad always find it hard myself to capture the fast moving stuff so you got my fave on this one.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

Is it a moth or is it a bird? Fascinating nonetheless.
