    Nice shot. Really hard to get a good sharp picture. What kind of equipment were you using especially the lens.

    Thanks for the kind words. This was shot with a 30D and 100mm 2.8 Macro usm lens, f16, 80th sec., iso 800.

    I believe that becomes the Spinks moths, which are about the size of a Hummingbird. I haven’t seen one in our yard for several years, and at the time I had a Sony F717. Got a few pictures, but nothing like yours, those are really great.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    I'm not sure that "kinda cute" really fits. Great shots that bring back some nasty childhood memories. It was my job to pull them off the tomato plants in the garden!
