Lime Hawk Moth
Not a rare moth by any means but still a welcome visitor to our garden. Shame I couldn't get a shot from the front
Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHmmm. I'm a bit suspicious given your recent image manipulation antics... I'm guessing it was really a thrush...
ReplyDeleteThanks Alison
ReplyDeleteTrush? Pah it was originally a photo of a rottweiler in a swimming pool Andrew!
Lovely photo :-)
ReplyDeletebut it does remind me of this occasion:

You have to read the words beneath the picture ;-)
I always thought that a moth was a pest. We used to put moth balls with our wool blankets to protect them. Is this the samething? Good photo.
ReplyDeleteNice critter. And a good shot too.
ReplyDeleteOh, SO pretty Jams!!
ReplyDeleteYou do great work with Photoshop. Looks nothing like a Rottweiler. Amazing!
ReplyDeleteAh Claude this is not a clothes moth, they are tiny things and it is the caterpillars that do the damage.
ReplyDeleteSnoopy, Knat it is definitely a handsome creature. I love moths
I must admit it did take some manipulation to remove the water and the dog like attributes!
Ah cherie what a beautiful moth. There is nothing to be scared of. They are just a beautiful part of nature
