Thanks for the nice comments :-)
It is stunning with its feathery wings - your second pic is so clear - great work
It looks like a little angel, so white :-)
I've seen it only in the book, I been waiting for it in project Noah! Really pretty Marta!
It was a very special sight, yes. It was near a house here in the forest almost evening. I had never seen one like this before.
"A perfect shot by a perfect naturalist at heart. I like this moth very much. It is beatified by a heavenly touch."
