Yesterday, I was kneeling down on the mown grass in my garden, trying to photograph some Bush Cricket nymphs on adjacent vegetation.
I had my EM-1, Kiron 105mm macro and twin TTL RC diffused flash setup.
I was suddenly aware of a movement close to me. A Scarlet Tiger moth had landed on the grass very close to me. I then transferred my attention to the moth. Due to its various positions on the grass, I was able to get some low angles.
The shape an orientation of the moth limited the impact of the cross-eye stereo but it seems worthwhile anyway.
This moth is to be found in the south of the UK, where it is local. Our proximity to a river and brook may be relevant:

Thanks, Brian.
Yes, that might have made a better stere, than the one I posted, but it was probably too active.
I seem to be getting more organised, with subjects now finding me.
