They survive the winter as imagoes - hibernating, really. That's why the ones you see in early spring all have tattered wings :)

Wow! I am amazed by the colors you got under minimal editing. My colors were devoid of colors. Love the diagonal composition of the moth against the white floweres. Absolutely beautiful.

Very nice presentation. Is this a moth or a butterfly? Is it alive or was it placed in that position? Either way, very nice photo

  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/17/2007 09:27:21 AM
This has POP. Love the variation of shapes between the white fluffy flowers and the stark rich deep tones of the moth. The diagonal line is excellent. Bumping up. 9

  Photographer found comment helpful.

I love these trees, the ones here have already turned green and lost their flowers. I love the contrast of the purple with the pastels and whites of the rest of the photograph. Nice capture
