[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Clouded Border (Lomaspilis marginata) is a moth of the family Geometridae. It is distributed across most of Europe and the Near East.
This is a very distinctive species with white wings marked with black blotches around the margins. The amount of black varies, with the males usually (though not always) having more extensive black areas than the females. Occasionally almost entirely white or black individuals are seen, although this is rare. The wingspan is 24-28 mm. It flies at night in June and July and is attracted to light.

The larva, pale green with darker lines, usually feeds on aspen and sallow but has also been recorded on birch, hazel and poplar. The species overwinters as a pupa, sometimes remaining in this form for up to four years.

Buen gormato y colores Siegfried. Como he visto últimamente en otras fotografías tuyas, el enfoque o lo que sea falla ya que se ven unos colores y formas poco definidos. Una lástima.

Merhaba Siggi,
Yeşil yaprak üzerindeki bu güzel kelebeği harika görüntülemişsin dostum. Renkler muhteşem görünüyor, tebrikler...

Hallo Siegfried,

Wonderful macro capture of Clouded Border moth with great details!
The sharpness and POV are just ideal, where natural colors are very well shown in the picture. The contrast between the light colored moth and the green leaf. It seems that moth is on a green planet :)
The blurred BG is simply nice. Very well done!

Viele Grüße,
Paras Bhalla

Hi Siegfried,

Nice picture, the composition is fantastic, the background and the colors are excellent. Pity that the insect has been somewhat out of focus. Except for that detail, it is a very nice job.

Greetings, you have good Sunday!

TFS!
