Very nice Dave!
I like using the macro setting on my S5000 too.
I marvel at what a great buy these cameras are. They just have so much versatility for the amount of money spent.

Hi, Kelly, thanks for the comment! The wingspan is about 3 inches, so I didn't have to use my macro lenses, but did use the macro setting on the camera's lens.

Ewwwww....... this is so ugly, I cant take my eyes off the darn thing thinking it will fly out of the screen and land on me. Very interesting shapes colors and textures to this moth. How macro is this. I don't usually ask questions, but do these get as large as this one appears. Great detail you have capture on this fellow. I do like it even if it will give me nightmares tonight..... LOL

Magnificent creature and a very sharp and detailed capture, Dave! Looking at the bark and background tones, one can understand the moth's camouflage.

Awesome creature! You captured his colors very well. Details are sharp and lighting is good. DOF is great, the blurred background allows the moth to pop out of the frame.
