My fav photo of this fine and fluffy specimen








Playing dead makes it nice and easy for me to take photos


Look at my antennae! I'm a real stunner ;)



Such a beautiful moth!! Its gorgeous colouring with the pale yellow, orange, black and the striking red make me so happy. And, the FLUFFINESS!!!! A definite cutie ;D.

One of a few pretty moths I have for you today, found whilst yakiniku-ing (having a bbq!). It was attracted by the spotlight we were using to see how char-grilled our meat had become :P.
This little fella was about 15mm long.
