  6. Like the others, I thought the detail in this photo was outstanding. I certainly don't like moths, but this is certainly a beautiful one!

  9. Think this might be a Red Underwing but not sure. There are Rosy Underwings, Dark Crimson Underwings and Light Crimson Underwings. The top wings are all slightly different as are the bottom wings and I am no expert but it may put you in the right direction. See

    Keep well Diane

    1. Everything is fine Gail, thanks for caring. I just need time to concentrate properly on some other projects with my husband, so better just to take a complete break. :)

  21. What a lovely picture. I'd be thrilled if I had taken it. I used to have a blouse in a very similar pattern to the moth's wings. It was one of the prettiest things I owned.

  22. I mean the blue bit and not the red bit was like my top. ! :) but the red looks beautiful on the moth.

Welcome to my photography blog, where I share the world as seen through my lens. All commenter's will receive a visit back from me but no longer individual replies unless you have a question, which I will respond to here. Your praise and kind words are always appreciated but to keep saying thankyou to you all individually, in an original way is not easy. So I am saying it here instead, a massive thankyou from my heart for all the wonderful support, your comments are a great encouragement to me.
