Hallo Anne!

In diesem Zustand kann wahrscheinlich nur ein Profi bei der Identitfikation weiterhelfen. Ich kann mich nur zum Bild äussern, aber das weisst du ja. Nun, das Bild gefällt vor allem deshalb, weil es eine willkommene Abwechslung zu dem, was man hier üblichwerweise sieht, bietet. Ich bin beeindruckt, wie gut du ein so kleines Insekt hinkriegst!

Grüessli

Hello Anne,

What an interesting photo with this young moth. Very good DOF keeping in focus most of insect's body. You rendered amaisingly well the details of antenae, head and wings.

Thank you for sharing,
Cristian

Hello Anne,
Of course it is very difficult to ID a moth when the wings are crippled owing to not being able to expand them with fluid after emergence from the pupal case.
The feathery antennae suggest that this is the male of a species of Geometer moth. This is a fine sharp and well exposed capture well seen on the lilac flower.
Thanks for sharing this mystery,
Best regards, Ivan

The antennae really make the difference. The patterns in and about match the violet flora well...an awfully unusual looking creature it is...almost as though we should turn our eyes because it was poor and malformed...a continuing natural mystery...

Bonsoir Anne,

Très bonne capture de ce papillon de nuit déployant juste ses ailes. Il semble que même ses antennes ne sont pas tout à fait droites. Excellent focus. Très bonne luminosité et superbes couleurs.
Bonne soirée,
Mariki

The antennae in particular of this Moth are remarkable, Anne.
From your perspective, the rest of the moth is also in good focus with good details and colours.
TFS and regards.

Hi Anne

A splendid macro of this interesting moth here from you.
I really like how you focused exactly on the most attractive parts - those big antennae - and how sharply and well they are rendered here.
The upper POV is great and allows a BG made out of almost only the beautiful flower.
Perhaps just a very little bit underexposed, but even so, a lovely shot.

Bravo and TFS
Horia
