Uploaded for the Dec Slice of Life S C. Day 11.
Just a shot to document a moth that I found dead on the floor where I was working today. It is about 2.5 inches long.
Today's lens is the Manual 55mm f2.8 Micro Nikkor Ai. No filter. I think this one was built in about 1978.
f11, iso 200, 1/60 sec. on cam flash @ -.5, hand held.
Crop, levels, brightness.
Here's another Fl sunset shot.

He is beautiful. Looks a little scary too. Glad you stopped to take a photo and share. I had never seen one before.

I love moths. My husband was browsing over my shoulder and had to leave the room cos he is scared of them ; )
Love the softness you can see in its body fur.

Moths can be way cool subjects. I took a bunch of pictures of one last summer .. now I feel inspired to go dig them out and post them somewhere!

It looks like a cross between a bat and an airplane.
