Artist's Comments

Found this moth caught between a window and the fly netting on the outside (they usually fly in there and get trapped when someone closes the window).

This had some weight to it, I really didn't think it would be that heavy - it would have been about the same weight as.... ummm....*looking around*.... a half full box of matches (yeh that'll do). With an elaborate tripod setup I finally got a shot, it almost looks like they have fur, and the areas around the eyes are amazing.

Your right there, when I saw this normally I thought it was just another moth. But close up these things are so interesting, they almost have fur.

Thanks for the comment :D

This is amazing. And it does look like they have fur, a little.

:D It took me ages to get the setup right, and the really bright sun coming in through the window was brilliant, which always helps.

Thanks for the comment and fav :D
