this one is most beautiful of your moths, but old... :(
yes, sure, I believe I am earning a good experience for a job of mortician :D
You should feel better because by spotting them you make them live forever plus they contribute to science all thanks to you :)
Tnx, I feel so much better now :D not
Oh, don't tell me, the only insects I am able to find are just those on the end of their life or already dead :D
Wow thanks, you see what's a beauty. Just mine is too destroyed. Almost transparent but those photos are amazing :)
