Great capture! I have yet to see one of the guys in my area either. The brilliant yellow of the flower really shows off the detail.

Brilliant capture Carol! You seem to have got both depth of field and to have stopped the action, so I guess it was a small aperture and a fast shutter speed?

I have yet to see one of these guys. I still think they look like flying crawdads. Very clean capture. Don

I like how you can see the evening primrose thru the moth's wing.
