Wow! How beautiful is this? What a great looking Moth this is and well captured.
 
Thanks. still waiting to get an image of this species that I'm really pleased with - previously I've suffered from a moving subject: this time my better tripod is currently out of service so slight camera movement has introduced a bit of fuzziness in these images.

You'd think you'd be able to spot one of these in nature, but it is a very effective dead-leaf mimic and presumably has every branch on a lot of trees at its disposal when resting up during the day.
