Hallo Chris
Thanks for sharing this fascinating moth. The colours and markings is beautiful and the shape is eye-catching. Great in the middle composition that attracts the eye too. I agree with Nikos that the tree bark as backdrop is beautiful and the colours special. Thanks for sharing. Best regards.
