Yellow Collared Scape Moth

[JOAT]

This is the first time I saw this moth up close, I've always seen it fly by me but it would never sit still long enough for me to get a shot. Today I got that chance. I had to act quick so some weren't as sharp as I would have liked but not a bad first time

Ditto and I really like the colors.

Thanks guys, yeah the colours are great, even the back of him look stiched on. I wish I could get closer actually to see even more detail

and thats why Moths are far more beautiful than butterflies

2nd shot is my fave

Very impressive getting sooo much detail out of the tubes and lens too. The lighting is fantastic, well done indeed and a stunning creature to boot.
