A very nice shot of an attractive looking moth in a great setting.The strawberry makes a different and an excellent perch and the lighting is particularlt attractive.I like it a lot. 8)

Lovely. I would have been tempted to add some light to the right side of the moth. However, this is a terrific shot as is.
Thanks for posting,

I like your capture of the mettalic orange on his wings. How do you go about getting accurate identifications with the lack of field guides on moths?
