    I often saw photographs of moths with impressive antennae and I wanted to make pictures like that too, but never saw such moths. This time I finally found my big-antennae moth. Some moths have bigger antennae, but I am satisfied with these ones. Posted 13 years ago

      You should be more than satisfied. I don't think I ever saw this specie, not in real life not on a photo. Nice find, promoted! Posted 13 years ago
