[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I guess this could be male moth Nemophora fasciella or something else, caught it in my garden yesterday quite a qute guy with those long antennae.

The longhorn or fairy moths are a day active lepidopterans from the family Adelidae, the fairy long horn moths. The wingspan of the moth ranges from 16 to 23 millimeters.

The longhorn moth males have antennas ranging up to five times their body length, while the female has much shorter antennas.

Hi Tanja.
I like your fine picture a lot. Pictured moth is amazing as well as the exposure of the white flowers. DOF is great as well as the entire scene. Main subject and BG are looked nicely together. Well done and TFS.
Alexei.

Hello Tanja,
an admirable capture of this longhorn moth. Wing colours, eyes and leg structures are
professionally reproduced and presented.
It is not easy to achieve suitable pictures of these small moths.
Best wishes, Peter
