I recently posted a shot of a moth over on Reddit and linked to it here on Flickr. This led to a moth fan named Diana there to sign up on Flickr - just to give my photo a like!
This is why I thought it would fit with a little more moths in the feed here, right?
This one is a large twin-spot carpet (Xanthorhoe quadrifasiata) which has a lovely "surprised" look on it's face.
This geometrid moth is known as the yellow shell (Camptogramma bilineata).
I found it hanging out on the white-painted railing of my mother-in-law's front porch in early August (of 2023).
For a shot showing it absolutely straight from the front, please have a look at part 1 here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/54218842348/
I took this shot of a geometrid moth known as the silver-ground carpet (Xanthorhoe montanata) in the Mjällådalen nature reserve not far (sub 40 km) from Härnösand, Sweden.
Unfortunately, I misjudged how white the moth actually was and set the flash power way too high, resulting in a severely overexposed shot.
But thanks to the wonders of RAW photos - this turned out to be entirely possible to dial back in post resulting in this photo.
