I know it's more flies but they're cheeky and tend to sit there looking at you with their big bulbous eyes etc..

Anyway, before the flies, I found this thing on the side of a plastic storage box which then flew onto our fence. I had to use all 3 ext. tubes to get anything useful as it was tiny.

All images 1/200 @ F8 / F10. Flash -1/3 FEC and Diffused.

Get a load o' ma tentacles - Looks like some kind of moth





I'll admit I was trying to capture the stitching like Paul so superbly did but I didn't use tubes on this. Plus it was hand held and I was almost passing out holding my breath.. lolol

Thank you Brian :)

A micro moth. Never heard of those before. Thanks for the ID :)

Nearest moth I could find is Chrysoteuchia culmella, but I'm more likely to be wrong, lol.

Paul.

My one looks a little different to the images googleing Chrysoteuchia culmella brings up. Thanks for looking though Paul :)
