night butterfly

s'a moff innit.

This wee chappy was in a state if deceasedness upon my desk. Rude and careless.

Much to your relief I will also be away for the next few days. Enjoy.

But unlike this guy you will return. Wonderful detail

[Issi Bannerman]

Fantastic macro. Such wonderful detail on this poor deceased chap's fur coat!

[Dianne]

This is pretty amazing! Fav

[Mark Lynham]

love it! FAV

[Rob Z]

His moment of glory and he didn't even know about it. Cool image!

[Clare Gadsby]

what no moth gas mask? i think he has been short-changed. beautiful detail, though, so it'll have to be a fav anyway

[mikeharris]

Super crisp image Graeme, you still managed to give him a sinister Darth Vader style appearance. Fav.

[Shanne]

great macro details, not sure it's rude to provide you with a photo opportunity, particularly one that plays into your macabre tastes. Enjoy being away

[Julie Duncan]

Great focus! He/she's a pretty little thing. Have a good trip! :)

[Joanne Diochon]

This is beautiful, the tones, the shadow, the silky details in the wings. Poor thing is probably going to be much more admired in death than it ever was in life.

[Larry L]

Very nicely presented. Great detail in the winges. He (she?) looks "regal"

[Taffy]

Wow -- beautiful and artistic. Not sure I've used those terms before with your image so a very interesting (and well executed) change of pace.

[Yao RL]

This is incredible.

[Humphrey Hippo]

The detail and toning are gorgeous.

[JackieR]

So glad you didn't waste a photo opportunity to capture this rather pretty specimen. A beautiful photograph I may dare to type

[Kate Klinck]

ew. ew. ew. Gawd I do not like moths! Great shot tho!

[Marnie]

Great to see you didn't waste it karking on your desk.

[Jane Pittenger]

Did you pose it? You’ll be missed

Thanks all, always appreciated :)

[Rosie Kerr]

A belated, as this fellow appears to have his mothy head bent in reflection. A beauty. So graceful and contemplative.

[Graeme Stevens]

@rosiekerr Thank you very much :)

[Caroline]

Amazing, amazing detail... beautiful (forgive that word - but it is!).

[Graeme Stevens]

@kerosene Good lord, the worlds gone mad ;)
