Hello Monika, some may think he is cute maybe others will think this is ugly :-) I'm pleased that you think for former as he has his qualities. I like the POV here and the lighting is pretty good too. In one way, with those antennae he does look a little like a demented rabbit :-)

Maybe that's why he was in your room, he had detected your perfume?

Very well done, thank you for posting.

This is superb Monika. I thought it might have been a bat!! What a find, So are you going to mind him all winter, do they live that long and in the cold weather? Great macro, well done. TFS.

Could be Lymantria dispar (after seeing the WS), a known pest for apple trees. Are they some aplle trees or plum trees around your house?
Very nice the POV, giving a detailed sight of the antennae.

Hi Monika,
Excellent macro shot on this moth. Your flash did a good job here on the exposure. The colors and detail look great. Very interesting looking guy with what would be a winter coat on a mammal.

Very good sharpness, detail & exposure Monika. Very well composed and I like the curved surface I see that it's resting on.
Very well done. Thank You!

Hi Monika

Unfortunately for me it is back to work, so I am sneeking this in while I sit at my desk and think of those enjoying their festive holiday. Nice work. Good POV and colours. Very well composed. TFS.

Hi, Monika:
Been away for a while, or I would have picked this one up sooner. This is a male Pale Tussock Calliteara pudibunda, more famous for the outrageous caterpillar! This is a very late specimen, but I am 100% certain of the species. There's a nice series of pics here.
Have a very Happy New Year.
Nigel.

Perfect. This is a superb macro shot. Your POV and angle of approach making the most use of the limited DOF. Tack sharp and nice contrasts.
