Hi Philippe,
I've seen this here in New Zealand.
My mother in laws blackcurrants were being eaten, and I saw this insect, looked it up in the book, to find it was called the 'Currant Clearwing'
A real pest, but an beautiful looking moth.
Great shot.
Cheers, Steve

Nice shot - beaufifull coours and sharpness.
I've never seen these species in Poland

Wow Philippe, this insect looks so interesting - it doesn't look like a moth! Quite an unusual looking moth. Well captured, showing off the orange on the body, thank you
Janice

Very nice capture philippe, from the enlargement of the leaf detail it must be a small moth?
if one was to be picky it might be said the DOF is a fraction short the R/hand wing being OOF. still a very nice capture for the lighting conditions TFS yours Robert

Good shot.
Good focus and POV.
Good details.

Hi Philippe,

Hi Philippe.
It is a crystal-clear close-up shot with great DOF and sharpness. It much reminds a picture from space with an arrangement of the enemy fighter on a deck of an aircraft carrier. Very well done.
Good luck,
Alexei.

Good shot of this Siesiidae!
I think it is Synanthedon soffneri (Spatenka, 1983). Known as "Honeysuckle clearwing" in english.
Good POV and colours!
TFS!

Hi,
Very nice picture with good details and sharpness.
Well done!
Regards,
Iulian
