....haircut, antenna cut, arm cut....

Wasn't going to post this picture of a beautiful Fern Moth taken early this morning on our garage wall but I was in a hurry as I thought he would fly.....as there were many ants crawling around the moth. An average photo taken in a hurry, DoF and the right side is out of focus, wasn't a straight on shot due to hedges and heavy pots in the way, still no excuses. Should have gotten a longer FL lens and centered the subject from a further distance. However, its such a beautiful creature, regardless of the poor quality, couldn't pass up the post....and yes the moth did fly within about a minute or two.

Very nice, Blaster, and that's what I try to do also--take the shot and then try to incorporate the "what if's" on latter images if the subject is still around!
