First of all, I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
It was hot and humid in Sydney yesterday, and I was sick. Didn't go to the celebrations since I don't want to spread diseases. Instead, I decided to run two stacks on some festive colours.
First we have a sunset moth, anyone still wonders where the name came from?

Next, I have an Emerald Sparrow Butterfly:

Another thing I did was write a short blog post about diffused light versus harsh light: https://macrocosmosblog.wordpress.com/2 ... -question/
Enjoy!

Those should be worth posting on the site. The two shown in the post aren't native to Australia.

Ornithoptera Priamus butterflies can be found in several small areas along the coast in NSW and QLD. That should be a fun little project, and I finally get to handle a protected species (all birdwings are Appendix 2 CITES).
