Kay- Oh my girl, you did capture a beautiful one with this Imperial moth. I think its name is appropriate as it does have a royal look to it. I love its multi colored look, as if camoflaged by nature. Gorgeous colors and details of it. Adding to the beauty of the picture is the way that it decided to land on. I especially love the lines and the differnt textures. It was so perfect to show off the moth.
Gorgeous work my friend.
Have yourself a most wonderful day. #1326027

That's an unusual moth. I like the contrast of colours here but it also makes it stand out for any birdies that might be flying nearby. #9027998
