Salut Marie,je sais pas le nom mais la qualite' et l'ambience sont extraordinaires,un autre precieux travail,merci de partager tes petits amis,Luciano

Hallo Marie,

He een insect waar je de naam niet van kent!
Ben niet zo goed thuis in die wereld helaas, wel mooie compositie en pov.
Voor determineren misschien beter een boven aan zicht nog?

groet Gert

Very fine image, the colours are sharp and have good definition, great POV and excellent Dof, I shall try to find the Id amongst my books....tfs regards h

Splendida macro, ottimi POV e DOF, eccellente composizione con l'insetto racchiuso fra due piani sfocati, molto buoni i dettagli e molto belli i colori, bellissima luce. Grazie e complimenti. Ciao Maurizio

Hi Marie, I can't help you with the ID. It is an excellent macro however, with great depth of field to display the entire insect. The colour and detail on the moth is very good, and nicely composed in this longer landscape cropping.

Thanks, John

I surmise from your caption that it must be a very tiny moth, Marie.
The quality of macro is very good. The eye in particular is in sharp focus.
Only an expert can ID it for you.
TFS and regards.

Hi Marie
Very nice macro. It is probably the firs photo of these moth on TN. As for the ID it is difficult to say from the photograph but I think that it is family Heliozelidae (maybe some kind of Heliozella) Similar families are Incurvariidae

Best wishes
Krzysztof

Hi Marie
Very nice close-up. Well composed. Good shqrpness and nice colours.
Congratulations

Hello Mariki,
Great focus on this little micro-moth with all details and colours showing very clearly.
Nice light too and a fine background. Well done!
TFS and cheers, Ulla

Hi Mariki,

Excellent job with both photographing this tiny animal and in identifying it, these can be very hard to ID.

Ola Marie
Bela foto desta mariposa a nitidez ficou boa e as cores bem definidas, o plano de fundo me agradou tambem.
Parabens
Nilson

Ciao Marie,
ottima messa a fuoco per questo micro-lepidottero.
Non è certamente un soggetto facile da fotografare, ma tu ci sei riuscita veramente bene.
Saluti dalla Sicilia,
Marcello

Buen documento Marie, a pesar de la falta de enfoque y de luz. Creo que tiene mérito el haberla podido identificar.
