I find these little moths every year near my pond. They like the milkweed plants.

Fine inflight closeup of a clearwing moth - nice milkweed as well. Swamp milkweed, not common milkweed, isn't it?

Hi

A cool subject and a cool image - I am not quite convinced you nailed the critical focus aspects of the shot, but hey - this is way better than I have ever managed!

Very cool

All the best
Matthew
