This delicate little moth is fairly wide spread in South Africa. Latin Name: Utetheisa puchella; Medium sized: Wingspan 35mm; cream fore wings speckled in red and black; habitat weedy fields, gardens and agricultural land. I was able to capture this one while it was feeding. Enjoy!!

Hi Andre,
Very interesting to see this colorful moth. Good POV and well seen.

Hi Andre.
Nice colour contrast between themoth and the flower, especially the yellow colour of the moths moth peice (I don't know its name).
Well seen, regards
Matt.

Beautiful shot Andre.
I think just a fraction back further might have caught it a bit sharper,and squeezed in the antennae and top of the other flower, just framing it perfectly.
Its really nice though.
Cheers, Steve

Very beautiful, we have the rattlebox moth (Utetheisa bella) in America. The image seems a bit soft but i can see by its antennae that it was on the move.

Regards,

Pedro.

What a colourful moth, Andre!
Perfect image with great POV and DOF.

Andre,
excellent shot of that very pretty moth against a marvellously dark and distant indigo blue background.
Thank you! Best regards,
Peter
