Transparent Burnet moth on foxglove. Comments warmly welcomed.

Superb capture Nick. You've got the DoF well under control and a nice perch. Fantastic detail in the biggie.

I've only seen one Burnet this year. A really bad macro year in my area due to last year and the cold spring, also continuous high winds.......

Wonderful soft tones in this one Nick, I like it a lot. I haven’t seen one in years, too much crop spaying in this area I guess.

Good stuff. Rubbish for macro stuff around here at the moment too.
