I just remembered I had these sitting in a file on my computer. This past summer, I found this fellow sitting on the bubbles in my kitchen sink. I plucked him out and snapped some photos. :0) Unfortunately, I think the bubbles did him in. :0(
Macro Monday is easy to play, snap a macro (or any close-up) photo, post it on your blog and come back here and sign MckLinky.
MM started on Sept 29, 2008 – THANX to all of you for helping make it such a fun start to the week!

Never thought that I would consider as “beautiful” such an ordinary insect when I see it “live” ! You are a witch, you transfer ugly things into beauties !

Butterflies and moths are such great macro subjects. The transparent wings on this one are really interesting. Thanks for creating Macro Monday. I enjoy participating.

That is an awesome shot. I love the soft focus background, the way the wings seem to be glowing, the graceful curl of the antenna. Ethereal.
