Wonderful colours, it is odd that so many moths are brilliantly coloured yet only come out in the dark when the colours can't be seen.

Great contrast between the colour of the moth and background and good composition/framimg

Thankyou for your kind remarks, all.

Good point, Steve.

Talking of odd.... if moths so love the dark, why do they find lights so attractive?
Why don't they just come out during the day, like butterflies?

Discuss.

The more I look, the more there is to see!
