Leopard moth - Zeuzera pyrina

The photo was taken in fluorescent lighting at ISO 4000. The moth landed on my hand and I could not choose a better shooting angle.

  No mothing, Ferdy! I was in a village in North Bulgaria near the Danube river for 2 days. There we spent the evenings under a wooden shed in the yard, where the owner had installed fluorescent lighting. My goal was to shoot some rare birds there, but had no chance! Next time! Posted 5 years ago
