Description
Another shot of the lovely PolyTo know more about Poly you can read it in my journal here>>>>>[link]
Polyphemus Moth is one of our biggest moths, growing up to a 5 1/2 inch wingspan. [link] Properly Antheraea polyphemus, this giant of a moth is named after the legendary Cyclops of the same name from Homer's Odyssey. (Remember - the fierce one-eyed giant who lived in a cave and tended sheep and ate straying sailors?) These large moths are found in the Puget Sound area, though they are not terribly common; in fact, they're nearly extinct in areas with lots of street lights. When you only have a week to mate and lay your eggs, wasting time circling a light (and making a tempting banquet for bats) is not healthy! [link] and [link]

Yeah, this is a stunner. My wife and I had a really gorgeous Io moth come into our back patio last year - and I thought IT was beautiful! The trick here is you thought it through and caught not only a photograph of a beautiful animal - but also a truly beautiful photograph in and of itself. It's just gorgeous! A far cry from my "io moth on a blue wall" pic...!!! LOL... You saw the shot and executed it perfectly.
Awesome, awesome work!

A great image. This is such a beautiful moth and the mirror works very well. Thanks for the link to *editha, there is a lot of talent there. I plan to steal this mirror idea from both of you.

Thank you I was too, the one I'm using is an oval dressing table mirror with flower handles
. I need to get off my lazy ass and go to the hardware store and get a couple tile mirrors. Think I'll do that Monday

My reflected images were inspired by works by "Hesitation" and this gifted deviant was actually credited by me in "001".
Too many head injuries as a child I guess!
