Description
We walked a bit earlier by the river yesterday, at just the right time to see the most insects. I was excited to see this little longhorn moth, but there were also hundreds of little green beetles mating.
I will post some of the action later.

Beautiful closeup !
superb isolation
Great capture
great capture
Lovely picture
Never seen one of these Andrea. Thanks for posting, now if I see one, I will know it.
Looks like he could receive transmissions from outer space with those spectacular antennae!
Excellent closeup, lovely critter.
Superb capture Andrea. God bless.
Wonderful capture and detail, the moth can be every bit as attractive as the butterfly. Need a bright torch and a white sheet out the back garden at night... so many species. Sometimes looking at my Velux window in the kitchen at night reminds how many there can be.
Impressive image. The detail on the leaves is excellent.
Another stunner of a macro in this creature-upon-leaf capture. With that lengthy antennae it can pick up wireless/radio transmissions from kilometers/miles around.
A most beautiful photo here Andrea!
He is aptly named - what LONG antennae he has! Well caught!
I love that stripe. It seems so formal!
A very clear capture of a beautiful moth. And what's so grabbing about it is the way you captured it looking over the canyon beyond the leaf. To it, that's a grand canyon. A single moth peering into the big canyons around it. A beautiful view for the shot. As if it's saying, "yep, this is where I could spend the rest of my life..."
very nice shot
