Nicely done! Reversed lenses are a really economical way to get quality close up images.

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

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

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

NSFW if you happen to be a carnivorous insect, that is.

I got two fly bites chasing these red angels, so I really want them to succeed in their "marriage". I went through yesterday's shots three or four times before I realized exactly what was going on here. I would have needed more time than I had to chase them down to get them from the side to maintain depth of field. They are insects, so ...

I had the same problem with "oversized" pictures, and Adam pointed out that I can set a maximum viewing size in my preferences. That solved the problem for me. Have you tried that?

Some great shots of insects (and spider and caterpillar ...) here.

What a great topic! Here's one I took some years back when a cloud of Least Skippers made it to our home which is on the extreme North edge of their range.
