Supersize Moth

[PixelRabbit]

I wasn't sure where to put these because this guy was huge!

The moth had a good 5+inch wingspan.
I would have preferred more natural surroundings but I worked with it where it landed.... on my garden tools lol

I lit him for this with flashlights and on board flash (taken at night).

C&C always welcome and appreciated.

1 is amazing. I love the definition in the antenae, looks more like a bat than a moth!

#1 is nice.. good detail on the antennae! I WISH I could find subjects like this... this years seems to have fewer bugs of all kinds around here.

Thanks Joshua and Charlie. I'm playing with a closer crop on the first one, just haven't got it right yet.
Sorry Mike lol

Honestly, I really really like #2 and #4. Love the pose in #2 and the spot lighting in #4. Very good work.
