Emerald moth on earthball

Emerald moth on earthball I found this already dead moth on the ground and was surprised by the color which I had never seen before on a butterfly or moth. I put him on a mushroom nearby to create this scene. Butterfly is probably a Large Emerald (Geometra Papilionaria) and the mushroom a Common Earthball (Scleroderma Citrinum).

    Odd and spectacular color indeed! And very ethical of you to describe the staging.

      Thanks! I actually surprised myself here on how the scene looks while it took almost no effort to set it up.

        The colour is indeed amazing, it has a sixties touch to it, baby blue .
