Hello Grehard!
Looks like an exhibit in museum ;-)))
Very interesting photo and very well done!

Excellent capture Gerhard! Fantastic DOF at F/32. Very sharp and detailed with the iridescence of the wing picked-up very well. I like it, Great work!

What excellent camouflage this moth has - looks just like a dead leaf. Very good catch Gerhard. It has pretty colours too, and for me to say that is good. I used to be terrified of moths as a child. Even now I'm not happy with them. So, good job!

Hmmmm. Gerhard, not one of your better ones in my opinion. I have to agree with Joanna, it does look like a museum piece. And the severe side on angle doesn't give us any perspective of depth or build of the moth. The POV is OK, but the angle just doesn't do anything for me this time, sorry.

Great macro of this night jewel, Gerhard! I like details - every single hair or pattern is well seen here.

Great shot Gerhard! Was there a nuclear test when you got this? I ask as I'm wondering how much light you must have had to get this with F32 @ 1/200 and extension tubes!

Super details and a good composition, the gold on the wing is very nice. I'm sorry I can't help with the ID.

Great capture with excellent sharpness and DOF, good POV. A small pity you can't see the eye properly, but otherwise no nits.
If our similar ones are anything to go by, you were lucky to get this chap as separated from the bg as this. Ours usually sit in the thick of the plants, often head down pretending to be a dead leaf ;-))
