Here's Lookin' At You, Kid
by Deb Kees

I have no idea what kind of moth this is. The design on his(?) wings are what
attracted me first. But this view was my favorite. Here are a few other views; http://www.pbase.com/rescuecity4all/flying_around_the_lazy_k&page=2

This is a pretty extraordinary looking fellow. What eyes! And he seems to be having a bad hair day. Amazing shot.

I have to agree with Mike... it DOES look like a stuffed toy. Wonderful macro!

This really does look unreal, Deb...like an insect plush toy you have propped up on your finger. C'mon, Deb, where did you buy this thing? :) Excellent detail here...very effective DOF too. Other-worldly...a great insect macro! MFC

Great capture! Almost makes him/her/it look cuddly :-).

Very scary capture - I love the sharp, hairy detail, the color, and those strange bony antenna!

Terrific shot! Looks like it is a creature from one of these animation movies. :-)
