Thats only because of the lights I used to illuminate the subject for the video It would have been very noisy without them.... they are "warm" hence the color shift

I have no idea what this is

There have been two of them in the house. They are very skittish and hard to catch up with. This is an odd sort of shot; I was standing on a stool with the camera hand held and using the pop up flash with my M 100 f/4 macro lens at f/16. I'm surprised that after a few tries it actually worked. The critter was between the top of the mirrored cabinet and the bar light above it. The dark shadow is the shadow of the light bar. I couldn't get any closer to the insect. It flew off when I got over close. This is cropped to 1130x756 before reducing on export for this post. The insect is about 1/2 inch (13mm) across the wing span

Canada_Rockies, it's a micro of some sort. Moths are divided into macro (big) and micro (little). Micro outnumbers macro (in my country at least) and idents on these are quite tricky, so I won't even bother trying

Thanks for the info. I never knew that there were two major classifications of moths!

Your moth looks a little familiar from my mothing days, eventhough I'm in the UK. We have a micro Twenty-plume moth which doesn't look a billion miles away.

It does look like the same moth to me, too.

When I first started working a piece of ground here, seventeen years ago.
Never had to deal with kentucky corn borers until six years ago.Yearly ritual now,
amazing how fast some moths propigate and spread.(not a corn borer BTW,Albert)
A filmshot through some old pentax stuff last week.

Tiny bee from a few days ago. This one is about half inch long, checking out some Goldenrod, which just started blooming.
