    Such a great creature, fragile yet powerful in posture. I did shoot one of its brethern, though an attacus in my case.
    Attacus Atlas moth Masking its prensence this cobra snap was shot in Dutch Emmen zoo with our Panasonic movie camera. Wished I had my 60D but heylady fortune has granted me this digital capture. The magic of multple instances, it almost sounds like programming:) In this shot the corrupted leaf seems like three-dimensional, the cobra moths bending truth around it.
