Thanks

No it was outside - I disturbed it when watering the garden and then trapped it off the front door.

Nice shots Brian, damn things are always too long for me to get the whole wingspan in focus filling the frame, youve done a good job here.

That is the coolest looking moth I have seen. Of course, Brian, your shots make everything look great. Was this taken in your garden, also? You should charge photographers admission to get in there.

see the white ones here a lot but not seen a brown one. You wonder why one species would evolve with such a different design, I wonder what niche it fills to make it successful? (apologies to Intelligent Design advocates).

Very interesting capture Brian.

The first time I saw one of these, I thought it was part of a leaf. Never seen one when the camera has been handy though.

Toby, you're a stirrer...
