[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is a Cinnabar moth they are day-light flying sort, it is what those black and yellow catapillars turn in to. Again the bright red colour is a warning not to eat as he inherits a whole load of poisons from the food plants the catapillars ate.

Nice shot! You've managed to capture an impressive amount of detail, considering how small they are. I think about my only suggestion would be to make the moth slightly more central vertically - it feels like he's about to escape at the moment ;-D

Very beautiful arrest, details are precise and the very lively colours.
Très belle capture, les détails sont précis et les couleurs très vives.

Great capture here. Good DOF and photoshop work to make the moth the focal point, and keep the backround soft and consistant.

A very good macro shot of an interesting moth. The exposure is spot-on.

Excellent composition, detail, colours, DOF and notes. What more can I say?

Lovely. My only comment is to swing the moth to the LHS -head, with the heavy wings pointing to the RHS corner, drawing the eyes diagonally across the picture. WIsh they were as obliging here - most must be eaten after our winter.

Well seen, good color and good comment. I like framing.

You just keep shaking them out of your sleve, don't you ;-)?
Look at the texture of his wings, like woven material. Beautiful.

Excellent macro shot! I can almost feel this gorgeous moth moving up the green stem..And the colors and wing textures are just magnificent!

C'est une très belle photo. J'aime beaucoup le flou bleu derrière le papillon. Vous avez très bien su mettre en évidence les couleurs du papillon. Nice shot.

Very good photo and good note,
I like the note the most, because I have a question for you. You said it's no butterfly. But I have surch on the Dutch web and they say there it's a Jacobs butterfly, a Tyria jacobaeae. It's a night butterfly. The Eng, name for the caterpillar is the garden tiger. Let me know if I am right.
