A very tired moth

[djabend]

This guy was parked behind my car when I got home.
I think it is near the end of its journey.
Seeing it did not have much energy left I snapped some pics and left it to its fate.





It still had a good grip



Those eyes are hard to get a closeup of :P

Very nice shots considering the low light situation. What kind of camera and lens are you using?

I am using a Sony DSC-TX1.

They have come down in price too due to not being the latest greatest (the newer ones have some slight upgrades, not enough for me to want to upgrade yet)

Wow! I would have guessed that you were using a DSLR with those quality shots. Seems like you got a heck of a nice camera for a good price! Awesome shots!

Very good close-ups, djabend!
I think that is a Cecropia Moth.

We have very similar moths up here. Everyone calls em Atlas moths I think. Been a while since I have seen any. Certain times of the year they show up and gather around my porch lights. Thanks for sharing.
