Moth

I have no idea what variety of moth this is. It was just sitting on a leaf in my back yard and I needed a shot for today. They look so different through a macro lens.

I think it’s rather beautiful up close. I like the antennae and the fluffy wings. Love the details, the lighting, and the comp. Very nice shot.

That's a terrific shot! Amazing details and great POV.
Not to be the skunk at the garden party, but it looks like a female European Gypsy Moth. They're an invasive species that, when in caterpillar form, devour foliage on hardwoods. It's a major problem here in Ontario. Looks like they are in BC too, but not entrenched there. https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/industry/forestry/managing-our-forest-resources/forest-health/invasive-forest-pests/gypsy-moth
