[Leica] IMG: More Clearwing Moths

[Jim Nichols]

The first thing I saw this morning was a pair of Clearwing Moths joined 
in mating.  The pair were moving through the foliage while coupled, and 
finally reached a point where I could get a photo. The larger, more 
colorful one is the female.

Afterward, they rested for a bit.

Later, I found the female back a work.

These were shot with the lens almost wide open, to try to isolate the 
critter from the foliage.  It's still a work in progress.
