You did a great job of capturing the metallic blue on this moth Nikola.

Nice moth, Nikola. I like the colors in picture #1. You sure have some beautiful flowers that you capture your subjects on. Well I guess I need to post my Ten-Spotted Moth tomorrow.

Just kidding.

I'm not sure which science intern initially named this moth, but I see more than 9 spots.

Nice pics; gives me spring fever.

I would not be surprised if something like that exist.

I think it counts nine for each side.
