Monday #Macro – Moth

August 26, 2012  •  Leave a Comment
To prove that I don't always take macro photos of spiders, here's a small moth I located last week in an evening session. I'm afraid I'm no expert on NZ moths and have absolutely no idea what species it is. I did like the way it was hanging vicariously on the small twig on the tree though.
