You often see those small Moths and think nothing of it but when you get close, they are often quite pretty. Excellent find and shot. V

To me at least, that's a most unusual looking moth. You have captured the body well in that great light. V.

a modest moth, yet a fellow traveler well worthy of consideration...looks an accomplished leaf-hopper too..

Very nice details and colors. I like the composition with the leaf and moth pointing in different directions. "V"
