A few moths....not as interesting as butterflies to most, but still very good looking.

Nice pictures! My favorites are 2, 4, and 6. I like the angles at which they're taken and the "poses" of the moths. Seems different than normal.

Thank you, waday!

#6 is my favorite. The white and green really seem to pop off the black background. I must admit, I chase those moths around the yard with a badminton racket, though. They do a number on my garden! :no smile:
