False Crocus Geometer Moth
Sep 1, 2020 15:59:48 #
This is a yellow moth with brown pattern markings that I believe to be a False Crocus Geometer Moth (?) from what I can find that is very similar in color, antenna, wing shape and pattern markings. This moth was a given to me by our friends in Quincy, IL who found it expired in their shed and brought it to me when me met in Amana, IA over the weekend.
I brought it home and staged it for a focus stacking session at 5X magnification using a microscope objective as the camera's lens. This image consists of a stack of 451 images with constant LED diffused lighting and processed with Zerene Stacker into this final image.

Amazing photo - yet another off world alien living among us!
Thanks, I always wondered what it would be like to have antennas on my head. I wonder if I would I be able to pick up satellite TV..?

Thanks, Tinusbum. A dear friend has often jokingly referred to me as a combination of a mortician and a taxidermist.

A beautiful yellow moth, you have caught the colour well.
Thanks, Brenda. I'm using a Nikon TM (toolmaker) specialty industrial microscope objective that truly brings out the colors as well as the details in the subjects in ways that none of my other lens compare to do.

Thanks, Mark. The journey is a very long road and I know that I have just pulled out of the driveway.
