Oh Those Crazy Eyes

This is one of the moths in my collection. They are quite fragile and they do not preserve as well or as long as beetles and other hard cased insects do. This one has a ridge of bright white scales on the top of its antenna so with the contrast of its darks the white tends to overexpose a bit however adjusting the exposure compensation tends to produce too much darkness so it requires a compromise.

For anyone that has cats they know that a cat gets the exact same look on their face whether they see a moth flutter in front of them as they do an axe-murderer that catches their eye on TV.

Thanks, Donna. We've had several days of rain and the cool weather is setting in now so it's nice to be able to be behind the camera indoors and having the coffee maker close by is quite nice too!

Thanks, and I agree that the pattern is quite wild and crazy.

Thanks, Greg. They surely do turn dramatic over time.
