To the naked eye, this moth looks like a shiny speck. I have been trying to get a photo of it all week and this is the only one I could manage.

            It can be a little sensitive. Sometimes I get no results, try again, and do get results. Posted 4 years ago

              I've noticed that moving the photo a bit often yields new results. Posted 4 years ago
