Thanks for your comment Ashish! This creature was not only very photogenic, he was also very patient while I was flashing away with my camera... Even let me have a 2nd photo session after I'd realized the 1st lot of photos weren't quite good enough...

That's how it is for blue birds and Cedar Waxwings with me. If we had Cardinals , i would be photographing them all day! Beautiful colors on the moth!
