Beautiful moth! Love it's body and wing colours, and the feathery antennae.
Very fine shot!

A great catch on this moth, Yun, with excellent details in the moth against a good background. The antennae stand out very well, illustrating a major difference between moths and butterflies.

Hi Yun,
A nice frame filler for sure. Comp and sharpness are excellent. The leading edge of the hind-wing is very hot and you may want to selectively tone that down if there are data available in that region. Otherwise, a fun shot with some nice eye-candy.................Jim
