Lovely, Albert! Would you mind if I asked what photography equipment you used?

Ok...this is just the cutest little moth! Very nice photography work.

@ jgorneau, it usually takes longer to produce an acceptable result in making a focus stacked image. As a rough estimate, it may take me about 60 seconds to complete a series of 30 shots. Then it would take about 1-2 hours to focus stack and post process the images which would result in a single focus stacked image similar to the first photo above. Hth. =) @ Carolina, thank you so much for the ID. I also found a YouTube video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpLRXWZeyBQ Thanks everyone. =)

WOW, the detail, it's as if feathered... and the eyes, as if it had personality.

It looks like a Cucumber moth.
