What an interesting insect, Ravi. Nice shot, with good details, smooth background, and I love the stem going diagonally across the image. Nicely done.

Ravi, you were in very close here. The details look great, with the antennae showing very well. In a scientific conference many years ago, I heard a physicist say that the plumose antennae on a particular moth gave it the ability to detect a single molecule of the female pheromone.

Ravi: Great find and a superior capture. Really good BG and a solid comp. Most excellent.>=))>
