Painted Lichen Moth
My goodness, what beautiful photos. I believe it to be a Painted Lichen Moth, Hypoprepia fucosa. What type of equipment did you use to get that incredible photo of the antenna section?

Thanks!
I used a Canon 40D body with a Canon MP-E65mm macro lens. A Canon MT-24ex twin head flash was used for lighting. This setup was used for all of these images with varying magnifications from 1x to 4x.
