Golden light is reflection of white light from front from his wings neon was coming from insect killer device which emitts blue light to attract insect. It was lucky that small grill of killer was not much for him to pass so he enjoyed outside

    Nice capture, interesting light. I can't believe you did this hand-held.

    Would like to see image in natural light too.

    Thanks carbon based :D it was about 10 at night so no natural light the thing which attracted me was how it's wings were reflecting light from front ! 1st i thought blue light is passing through it's wings thats why color is changed until i turned off the main light of room !
    Light do pass through wings but dont change colors and it is very dim :D

    Cool shot, Awais. I really like everything about it, not only the unusual neon color, but the way you have the moth composed. Great capture! thumb.gif
