Thanks all!
Hopefully his future foretells of living through the cold weather!

He certainly has a lot of neat reflections. He is looking into his own future.

Not a problem
It's not always clear that visitors are restricted to the 560 pixel reduction, so it's important that the crop rectangle have as little extraneous background as possible

Please crop your images to a rectangle
that is essentially 'just the bug'. While you, as the contributor, can click on this image and see the full size 2400 pixel image you uploaded, the rest of us are restricted to this 560 pixel reduction, which is less than 10% moth and 90+% unhelpful grey background. Click on Edit here and Browse to the new cropped image to replace this one.
