je suis d'accord, c'est d'ailleurs ce qui m'a attiré chez lui/elle, d'autant qu'il est très petit!

It looks like it's been embroidered - it's so delicate and beautiful, and such stunning colours! Wonderful shot!

Nice, shot, it's a gorgeous moth. I've never seen this one before.  Can I ask where this photo was taken?

Shadoweddancer In reply to Shadoweddancer [2019-03-03 04:24:48 +0000 UTC]

Ah, I was wondering if the person who said it was a moth was right.  Moths usually have feathery antennae, and this one doesn't even though it looks furry, which is more a moth thing. Anyway, I don't think I've ever seen this one before.

Shadoweddancer In reply to RealMantis [2019-03-03 05:35:58 +0000 UTC]

I found it (sorry, I'm a biologist and I was very curious.)  It is a moth, Pyrausta purpuralis, alchetron.com/Pyrausta-purpura…

il est relativement petit et se cache dans les herbes, donc pas très visible!

My first thought was a moth, but you don't usually see them as colourful as this. But my instincts were proved right with a quick reverse image search which revealed it to be a Pyrausta purpuralis.

AlberichPotter In reply to RealMantis [2019-03-01 08:34:26 +0000 UTC]

Thanks, but I still think it's a moth and not a butterfly!

Wow are there any colour filters on this or is it the natural colour? I've never seen a maroon butterfly before!

RealMantis In reply to MontyMouse [2019-02-28 14:19:17 +0000 UTC]

there is no filter at all, it's natural colors.
