Mint Moth

Mint Moth
Such a tiny moth..........with a wingspan of only around 20mm.

I only had my 12-100mm lens with me, so not really equipped for macro. This is a pretty large crop but not too bad all things considered.

Nice, crisp image of the moth. It is bigger on my computer screen than in real life.

You did well to get this picture Keith and with such good detail. I think I have seen these tiny moths, but I'm no expert in naming them. Really good shot.

In any case, a pretty decent image. I confuse this moth with the geranium butterfly with much more devastating actions. All the best, Anton.

Die Blätter an sich wären schon ein schönes Fotomotiv. Aber mit dem Falter ist es noch besser.

Yes.... very good result on 100mm and a large crop... // Cheers'... from Dj.

Glad you approve David, much appreciated.

I'm starting to notice that whenever I don't take a macro lens I need it (and vice versa). You can't win really...........but the 12-100 lens is a pretty good compromise if you only want to carry one lens (which I'm doing much more frequently)>
