[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Picture taken year ago in Zelow nearby Lodz. I was walking in big, dry meadows and looking for interesting subject to photograph. I founded many butterflies, flies, grasshoppers and so on. Surprisingly most beautifull catch of this day was moth. It was sitting on grass stalk and was very patient model. I don't know ID, all I know it is male [look at its big antennae!].

Lythria cruentaria (Hufnagel, 1767)

This xerotherm species prefers undisturbed and sandy habitats.

The larva lives on Rumex acetosella and hibernates as a pupa.

The adults fly in several generations a year; from beginning of May till September. They fly wild in the sunshine low over the ground during the day.

Spring generation about 17-19mm, summer one 22-23mm.

Hello Greg

A wonderful capture of this colourful moth.
The focus is pin sharp with excellent texture in the wings and antennae.
The POV and DOF are excellent.
Nicely composed in the frame.
The lighting has produced vivid and vibrant colours.

This is lovely moth and an equally lovely photo of it, Grzegorz. I love the sharpness of it and the grass seeds against that nice out of focus background. The antennae are wonderful.
