  • Rarely photographed, this white moth with wings fringed in rust and irridencent gold, bead-like bars sits on a beige tile floor with its wings spread and rust colored antena apparent and shadowed. Markings on white wings are dotted with rust enhancing the scalloped edge of the moth. It took hours of searching to identify. It has no common name.

  • A perfect specimen of this very beautiful Atlas moth raised in the Magic Wings Butterfly House in Deerfield, MA. Located high up on a wooden rafter, the moth had been  missed by many visitors until I began photographing it. With a simple wooden background, the moths' magnificent coloring; melon, feather-like antennae; "furry" appearance; gossamer portals and diaphanous "eyes" on the tips of its forewings are shown in all their glory. This image is available as a 10x20 upon request.

  • A small, creamy-white moth with its shadow standing out on a green leaf in Costa Rica. I think this is a moth, although the stance is skipper-like, except the head is tucked like a moth. I have searched extensively, but been unable to identify it. Identification would be appreciated.
