took these yesterday:

Nikon Coolpix 3100
Flash fired, exposure manual (-2.0)

I don't know what it is, but this little bugger looks a little mischievous to me (1st pic). It's almost the same as with my cats, when they have that look in their eyes you just know they are up to no good

Very nice texture, you can almost feel the softness of this lil'man.

The second one confuses me though. Is that a butt I am looking at?

yamant · Jul 12, 2004

they are night butterflies, sometimes they called "moth".

Lyanna · Jul 12, 2004

*ggls* yup, I know that, I was just wondering what part of moth anatomy I was looking at

(second pic)

I don't think I've ever seen a moth with things like that sticking out of it's head...very interesting!

Wow, very unique and beautiful little creatures!

The first image really is a stand-out for me, it really shows him off. Nice job!

Wow...

Thanks for showing a part of nature I've never witnessed before.

Very nice job.

Seeing it that close up is amazing

Karalee · Jul 12, 2004

The first one is awesome. You can almost feel how fluffy that critter is.

I concur!

They both are amazing. The level of detail just exudes a feeling of texture. I'm cracking up though cuz the first one looks like its wearing a racoon fur coat.

I really like them, very interesting although they seem a little overexposed, particularly the second one.

Being a fan of close ups, I think that these are excellent.

These are fabulous but I keep coming back to look at the first one! I never thought I would see personality in a moth.

How do you get so close? And what is the surface that they're on?

Well done.
