Very gorgeous! Someday, I want to have a beautiful moth on my finger like you!
Beautiful spotting and series Carol.
Very nice spot, Carol!
She was very cooperative and stayed on my finger for 30 minutes. I took a walk thru my meadow and showed her to my nice neighbors! Thanks everyone!
Very pretty..:)
Lovely moth. I've seen C. angulifera in my area, but I'd love to see one of these up close!
Very nice.
Gorgeous series, Carol!
Nice one Carol! Moth-er is back!
