    1. Thanks, Nora. ๐Ÿ˜Š

  1. that is amazing Pepper.

    1. Thanks, Leanne. Most of the time when I see these moths, they are much too quick for me to get a shot. ๐Ÿ˜‰

  2. Very intricate design on this moth!

    1. Yes, there is! Details that are often missed. ๐Ÿ˜‰

      1. Indeed! That powdery film on their wings shows up so well on macro photography.

        1. Just one more reason why I love spring so much! ๐Ÿ˜

          1. It’s a lovely awakening!

    1. Thank you very much. ๐Ÿ˜Š

    1. Thank you, Rebecca. ๐Ÿ˜Š

  3. Look at that detail, wow! Moths are incredible, I’ve been taking photos of them and gasp sometimes when viewed on my computer.

    1. Yes, they are. All the details that we miss if we don’t look closely. ๐Ÿ˜‰

  4. Captured for dinner. But what of the look on its face? “I’m just hanging in. Fear not, humans.” And it grins.

    1. Here I was wondering what he was thinking. Thanks for the update. ๐Ÿ˜‰

  5. Such a lovely close up ๐Ÿ™‚

    1. Thanks, Hammad. ๐Ÿ˜Š

  6. Nice capture, Pepper. Poor guy, definitely having a bad day! I’d have been tempted to free it. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    1. Thanks, Eliza. I thought about trying to free it but I didn’t. Probably should have.

      1. I suppose the spider needs to eat, too. ๐Ÿ˜‰

  7. What a fabulous close up!!

    1. Thanks, Esther. Sadly, the moth could not get away very quickly so that gave me more time to click. Now, I feel badly because I should have tried to help it try to get away.

Thoughtful words accomplish much.
