On a trip to spain to visit the parents i thought id pop into the butterfly house with the kids. didn't manage to capture any butterflies but got some nice moths. i think the big one is called an Atlas moth,not sure on the triplets though so if anyone could tell me what they are it would be great.

Beautiful creatures well taken (y)
 
Oh, nice! Moths (or the ones I see anyway) are generally pretty drab, but those are anything but. And getting the three together like that - what a super shot. And I love the colours in both images. Altogether very eye-pleasing indeed.
There are a few colourful ones in the UK sadly a minority.
These are very nice photos.

Possibly true although of colourful is a minority. Saying that I like all of them colourful or not and try to photograph all I see.
