I have a soft spot for them too... Especially since it was an Emerald moth (*) that I FIRST managed to finally take an in-focus macro photo of, when I started this hobby (/obsession) just over a year ago. (Before that it was my photographer husband who took the photos.) (*) http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/6617382
