AUTOMERIS NARANJA

I found this moth when I´m cutting bushes in my garden and luckily I reached it to see and I avoided to kill it. Soon I took it on dry leaves and when touching it with a branch, it opened its wings and it showed its "eyes" to intimidate to me, as a last resort it eject a milky liquid.
I used a 58mm lens and a magnifying glass.

Very good shot, Hernan. The spots on its wings really look like eyes -- a defence strategy, I guess.

Beautiful moth, excellent light and colors..Great detail within your DOF.

A beautiful moth, Hernan.
What luck that you found it, and it did not fly away.
Not only did it let you take a photo of him. but he even opened his wings for you. The POV is fantastic, showing the two huge orange "eyes". Very sharp details and gorgeous colors. TFS. : )

Hernan, bela captura.

Você fez um belo trabalho com a profundidade de campo e com as cores.

Também gosto da composição.

Es una foto preciosa la de esta mariposa. Te quiero constestar a tu comentario que me has hecho en mi última foto en el que me dices que no hago críticas. El motivo es porque no tengo mucho tiempo, aunque sí las hago en otra Web, que es de habla hispana. Te animo a que publiques tus preciosas fotos en dicha Web y que visistes mi página. La web es WWW.FOTONATURA.ORG.

Bonjour Herman,
Une très belle capture de ce papillon. Les yeux ont du t'intimider ! C'est une prouesse d'avoir détaché le papillon de son fond de même couleur. Beau Travail.
Gérard

Olá,
bonita borboleta parece que está a olhar para nós! Bonitas cores, composição e detalhes!
Thanks Ana:)

Hi Hernan,
Amazing marking, and colorful "eyes" on the wing pattern. Closedf wings and he would really be hard to see. Nice detail in this shot. Well done!

when I saw the shot in little I thought it's an owl, those eyes. I have never seen this specie before, I like the details of it. the capture is good, I think you can made a better composition, but to capture one is good enough for me, very good job.

Hello Hernan,
Very good shot! The "eyes" on the wings look amazing and colours of the whole picture match very well. I guess it was scanned but the quality is still very good.
WELL DONE!

Well caught Hernan, this is a very nice capture. Colors, DOF, composition and details are great. Good harmonize between BG and wings, very well done. Congratulations, Didier.

Hi Hernan,
Absolutely a very nice shot of this beautiful moth. Great colours, good lightfall and sharpness.
Well done,
Thx and regards, Ruud

Gran detalle,con nitidez le adjunto una pagina donde se la ve, pareciera un poco mas naranja y la oruga no tiene la linea blanca longitudinal dela foto de su oruga, que tal como afirma por sacarla con lupa es una valoracion para hacer claro, que luego le puede mejorar la nitidez digitalmente.

Hello Hernan,
excellent document of eye mimicry presented to a surprised spectator who has disturbed a perfectly well camouflaged moth. Very good describing note - I am really surprised the moth is even able to eject a milky fluid as a last resort of its protection! Perfect colours, and details.
Superb demonstration - thank you!
Best regards,
Peter

Hernan,
Great capture of these eyes! They look so real, almost owl or hawk-like.
Very good focus and composition.
