Winged Perdicament

Photo Information

Found this moth floating around in this vase of water. It made for a great study on flotation. As I observed him closer, his wings created tiny air bubbles on the water surface that kept him afloat until a rescue occurred. I promptly assisted him out of the water just after I took a few shots of him in calm distress.
