A Few Moths

[Coop]

Typical, I spend ages making a makeshift softbox, and the only willing subject in the kitchen lands on it as I attempt to get a picture of his mate on the cupboard before he flies off. As such had to take the box off, set it down and fire off a couple of rounds using just the normal diffusing cap for the flashgun!lol!

you can get all the gear you need, but you can guarantee the little devils will still spoil your day!

anyway, C&C welcome, and ID help also welcome! (still not bought a book!)

Think it might be a Limacodidae
Unfortunately I'm no expert but always trying - very trying according to the other half.
