Description
This is the Pterophorus pentadactylus.
(please zoom)
A kind feather-moth, family of the butterfly.
He flew away when I picked green beans early this morning.
I went after him (very carefully).
I could shoot him in very special poses.
But because he always crawled under a leaf, it was still a nice little job for 'taking him' in sharp focus.
Maybe I upload another shot too, they are so nice (anyway, I think so).
Thank you for watching, hope you are surprised, as I was this morning.
Cheers, and have a lovely day, that's my wish for you.
Mies (which has to go to the dentist today.
It's a nice man, but he must not use the tongs and hooks, huh?)
