[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
An unknown species of moth, it posed very nicely for a few photos and then flew away. I like this shot because it shows the scales on the moth's wings and also shows the feathery antennae, one way to tell a moth from a butterfly, as the antennae of butterflies are never feather-shaped like this.

If anyone can ID this moth, I'd appreciate it.

This is a fantastic macro shot John, beautiful nd stunningly sharp. I also love the earthtone colours and the details are simply amazing. I don't know the species but it sure is a nice butterfly. Thank you!
