Description
Gosh I hate it when these little beasts flutter into my face, so they better be fluttering into the night or otherwise I'll get the vacuum cleaner in a split second and soak them up, no mercy. Guess it's a real phobia that I kinda developed.Related content

Wonderful colours. You have the Sigma 150 mm f/2,8 too?

Thanks, shot it at dusk, to get softer shadows and nice, low lighting angle.
Yup, i have it and it's pure genius as a macro, but sucks when used as a tele. But that's what i have my ZD 50-200/2.8-3.5 for.

When they're fluttering around, yeah. Fortunately this one was sitting still.

Or you could make like a bat and just eat them. *lol* I know that's kind of gross. But hey, free protein flying right at you!

But i'm neither as cute nor as cool as bats are and by far not as quiet, so i guess that wouldn't work, even if the moth slept and i ambushed it.

*lol* I doubt that's stopped most folks who have eaten moths, from trying.
Yes. Bats are too cute for their own good.

I guess most folks who have eaten moths have done so by accident, as the things tend to fly into your bodycavities, when you flush them.
I agree totally about the bats.

I know, it's absolutely not rational. As I said, I think it's phobia. I just hate it, when the crawl through my curtains and start flying around at the ceiling and then go hiding somewhere near the flourescent UV-lights. Lastly I was pretty nervous when I thought one of them crawled into my computer and produced a heat jam in there. Fortunately it just sat in some corner.
Ahh, anyway, when I saw this one, I had the greatest respect for it, I promise. I gave it no reason to fly away and so it didn't, also I was pretty calm that moment, so I guess this encounter endet pretty lucky for both of us.
