Brown China Mark, Heesch, Netherlands

Not a great angle, it does not justice to the beauty of this species but it's the only shot I have. In dutch we call it the "water lily moth".

Pretty moth. The dutch name is so much nicer :)

  Yeah this was an ultra short hike where almost everything failed, I wasn't much into it. I was very pissed on this day as I found a few teenagers throwing heavy fireworks in the only pond this area has, and one of my go-to places for dragonflies. I chased away the idiots but in my heart I so badly wanted to kick their asses. It's better not to these days, but I still had all that anger in me, and couldn't focus anymore.
  
  ISO1800 is no problem by the way for this camera. Up to ISO6400 and a bit of cleaning up works fine. Normally I use flash though and use a fixed ISO 64. Posted 7 years ago

    Ah, I can relate. I get so frustrated when I encounter people in nature that have no respect for it. Posted 7 years ago
