This is more like a piggy back ride, but it made me think of the song by Bill Withers: "Lean on me, when you're not strong And I'll be your friend I'll help you carry on" Even though this Atlas moth looks pretty worn out, he's still supporting his friend. Maybe I'm reading a lot into that, but I like the idea that we are here to help each other out.

For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, His eternal power and Godhead;... Rom 1:20
It also reminds me that "Even though this Atlas moth looks pretty worn out" he can still teach things to those coming behind him. Thanx for sharing another great post, Hilda, I always look forward to yours!

"'Life is not a journey to the grave with the
intention of arriving safely in a pretty
and well preserved body,
but rather to skid in broadside,
thoroughly used up,
totally worn out,
and loudly proclaiming,
"WOW! What a ride!"'
That is a great shot Hilda, never seen anything like that before......not different species. :) +fav

Much of the beauty in life is found in people who care.
That old moth does indeed look worn out Hilda
The clarity is excellent here, but I wonder why the smaller insect is on the its back ? Oh well you've got me going now Hilda !!

I just hate dirty cutlery !! A mistreated dog should try to leave a deposit on their masters best carpet, after all it's important to establish who's boss ... My gallery is here.
Neat and interesting shot Hilda. Well done.

"The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others merely a green thing which stands in the way." William Blake
Pretty unique capture you have here, Hilda. The colors and details are excellent as is the subject matter. I'll bet you were hustling to get the shot before one of them decided to move on! It doesn't look like the moth would be going anywhere in a hurry though. Life as an insect must be tough -

So many pics and so little time can mean just one thing - it must be - tee time
Great colors throughout and as usual your clarity is outstanding. I like your idea of us supporting each other through life. It's what friends are for and I have to agree with your sentiment!

"Where there is perhaps a province in which the photograph can tell us nothing more than what we see with our own eyes, there is another in which it proves to us how little our eyes permit us to see." ~Dorothea Lange
Hilda that's an Incredible Image. Right place at the right time. Thanks for sharing.

'Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.'
That is a great capture. I would probably never get a shot like that unless I camped outside near a garden all the live long day. Very special shot.

Interesting find. Not sure what's going on here but that's their business. Well done.

Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual.

A beautifully unique photo. In my neck of the woods we don't see the blue and blk. butterflies much, do you know the name of it? Great Photo. Thanks E~ :)
