Here is a moth I found last night while rummaging in the dark. No idea the species or anything of that nature. Comments welcome :)

I like it ... I usually walk past moths convinced I can't find any magic angles ... I'll try this one though.

Awesome details! Nice picture.


Building the collection slowly..... 7D gripped, 550D gripped and some gLass.... and some other glass.... and some lights....more strobes than you can shake a stick at.... Just a hobby gone out of control....

Lovely shot. Agree with Brian, a skipper butterfly.

Lovely shots, as noted its a Skipper, they do often look like moths though, I have made that mistake myself. :)

So I guess everyone is in agreement on it being a skipper butterfly. My bad with the semi misleading title :)
