It's really the best gift of macro photography, and there have been MANY, that we can appreciate the grandeur of even the tiniest micromoths. Every one of them seems to have a different fashion to them. In fact now that I follow photographers back in my home country, I see more than I ever bothered to look for first hand, just because they were beige. As if a beautiful outfit can't be beige. I was blind, BLIND I TELL YOU! They're all on promenade for the moon. I love them all so much, it makes my head shudder uncontrollably. 🌕
