Lovely
Bob, I just encountered my first species of this moth. They are spectacular. When I looked it up on BG, I found your photo. Truly a piece of art. I would have a print of this hanging in my home if I had taken such a photo. Great job.

Hieroglyphic Moth
Just wanted to say thanks for the comment so long ago. I have just rediscovered this site (system crash 2 yrs ago). I would be glad to share the photo. I have a couple of other moth photos that I may post soon. Again thanks.
