The Bride Wore Black
and red.
There are several Cinnabar Moths in our garden, where they have been gathered for several day. Every recent day had at least one flying at about waist height and I have rescue three or four from our greenhouses.
Although we see these every year at this season, I have never seen a pair mating. I tried several angles of view with daylight and with flash but had to compromise on focus and allowing some unwanted highlight on the wing. This is a flash shot.

Thanks. Any crunch comes from my knees on the leaf stalks of rhubarb.
Here, I think the light fall-off from flash helps.
