Black Moth?

Posted by Lyndsey Le (Houston, TX, United States) on 29 January 2007 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

Does anyone know the name of this one? I wish I had recorded their names. At any rate, I love the contast colors of the butterfly (and its contour) against the leaves in this one. Enjoy!

Lyndsey, i'm really enjoying this series. Every shot is crisp and vibrant with color .
The outline of this ones wings almost make him look like a paper cut out that was pasted to the leaf .

@Fred: Thanks, Fred! I'm glad you're enjoying this series. I think the outline/contour of his wings is one of my favorite characteristics in this photo.
