CROCOTA PSEUDOTINCTARIA ( Leraut, 1999)

After looking for quite a long time I have finally found the ID.
This moth is from the Geometridae Family and seems to have been unknown until a few years ago. I have found the ID on internet, lepiforium.de and also a photo from Kimmo Silvonen taken on the Simplon, which is quite close to the place my picture has been taken. It is probably a first on TN

Hola Anne,
beautiful macro with pleasant colors,
clarity and good pov...
beautiful capture.
greetings friend

A stealth looking appearance but that only works in radar...I do wonder at why we have named some aircraft with this shape stealth...but ours in metal have various edges which do some sort of radar jamming...this brings to mind whether or not researchers in high tech have used methods learned from creation of nature...

A very fine perch to set it off Anne. You seem to have this almost perfect framing ability in size...very good then!

Hello Anne!
Probably some other friends would be able to correct me, but I believe that this is some Noctuidae species. Very nice coloours and warm, delicate light. In addition the sharpness and DOF are also exceptional. Bravo and TFS!
Friendly yours,
Radomir

Hello Anne,
A fine sharp frame-filling portrait of this unusual alpine Geometer, Crocota pseudotinctaria, a species that I know nothing about. This is super sharp and the open wings are well displayed on the insect-attracting flower.
TFS this interesting image,
Bonsoir,
Ivan

Hallo Anne!

Ich gratuliere dir ganz herzlich zu dieser Aufnahme! Offenbar ist dir hier ein ganz besonders wertvolles Bild gelungen. Zudem sticht es auch in technischer Hinsicht hervor: die Farben, die Belichtung und die Schärfe sind perfekt.

Liebe Grüsse

Liebe Anne,

ich bin wieder zurück auf TN und werde von Deinen neusten Kreationen überrascht. Hier überrascht mich vieles (nur positiv, natürlich): die Komposition, Deine neuer Umgang mit Weiss, die seltene Art, Deine Fähigkeiten zu schwieriger ID. Bravo Anne! Auch die Datei ist grösser geworden (noch nicht 300 kB). Da geht die Post ab!
Herzlich grüsst
Dieter

Hello Anne,
This Geometer Moth has placed itself in a perfect position in the middle of the pretty flower and your capture is brilliant. I love the creamy colour with the silvery edge to the wings. Great details and a fine background too. Very well done.
TFS and best wishes, Ulla

Hi Anne,
superbs calrity and excellent tight cropping to focus on the sharpness and details.
Well composed shot with real shallow depth.
Nice colour tones and combination. The subjects complement each other very well.

Regards,
Foozi
