Stunning Moth and I really like your wide angle view and the inclusion of the BG, excellent!

Lovely image and super moth - looks almost as big as the Atlas moth.

Hi

A cool shot of this fabulous moth and one that sadly does not make it to our shores except upon very rare occasions. Which just makes seeing this image all the more delightful

All the best
Matthew

The inclusion of background and tree bark really helps showing moth's size. Very cool shot!
