Blue eyes are many times considered to be beautiful, but this time that is questionable. I have no idea, what this c. 1 cm long flyer is.

I saw one of those yesterday on my porch but it flew away before I could get my camera. Nice shot.

Yes Brian, small enough not to notice the blue eye before downloading to pc. ;)

Yeah, it looks like something my sons would have made when they were young and then they would have tried to scare me with it. But ha ha! their mom was a bug lover! :)

KInda cute, but kinda ooooky, too. Great shot and the title is perfect. :D

You should have a naming competition! ;) It's probably got a daft name like a Feathered Chequer or somehting - when it should be called The Cerberus Headed Moth. :D
