PennyLane's Fotothing

wow!!
is this a butterfly? i never saw something like that!
amazing shot! :)

i also love butterflies, but i cant take good shots of them... they are rare and my camera is sucky, no zoom, so when i come close they fly away :/ sad thing

it is actually a moth! and very large! you can read about it here:

Beautiful!

Great shot. I am amazed. Great moth weblink also.

thanks jax! i think this is the third one i've ever seen up close and personal, and the only one i've seen when i've had a camera close by.

I like the bit in the info that says "back to the insect menu" - ugh! the very thought!!

What a startling shot; it's so clean and sharp!

Beautiful capture!:)

This is a great find and a great picture. We dont have such big moths in England and the biggest I have seen was in Spain, dont know what species.

wow!!!!!!!!! good one!
