"For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it. For every truth there is an ear somewhere to hear it.
For every love there is a heart somewhere to receive it."

I’m so glad that yesterday I remembered and caught it and placed it under a glass on the bench to have a good look at it. It was just an ordinary little moth and for a little while I thought it was dead. But I think it was just ‘playing possum’. I asked Georgia to get my camera and pass it to me before removing the glass.
And look how lovely it is, this ordinary little moth. Thanks for reminding me, Doreen.
Some of them are quite beautiful as they flutter around the veranda light on summer evenings.
ReplyDeleteAnyone would be proud of this shot. There are people with bellows, lenses, ring flash who would be happy with this shot.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful shot of a beautiful creature. I'm pretty sure that it's the non-native Slender Burnished Brass (what a wonderful name) which came from West Africa to Australia and arrived here in 1984. It's now common in the north of the country. The caterpillars eat soy-bean plants, potatoes, parsley, carrots and cabbage.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen such detail on a moth before. Amazing and intricate. I'm just pleased it stayed still for you.
ReplyDeleteI think it's beautiful too. Look at all the fuzzy hair on his body. You never really see that when you just look at it with your eyes. Great shot, Pauline.
ReplyDeleteMoths are fabulous - always been fascinated by them, ever since I was boy.
ReplyDeleteMuch maligned creatures I'd say - a bit like me (sob). Not really.
