Great, Leana! ...eye in focus, clear veins on wings, hint of peeled tail end, the colour white, clear background, perching on a vine, what else? Everything falling in line!
Good shot Leanna. This one has fabulous wings. Flatidae can be really annoying when searching for moths because, like you say, they fly the same way.
