Alfalfa Looper Moth  (three photos)
Autographa californica
1 inch

bumpy moth
This moth is very interesting to photograph because of the "pupil" in the eye.  It follows you everywhere and adds
a little more character to this already "Martian-terrain-looking" creature.  © Carol Davis, 5-17-2009


looper moth face
I love the expression in the eyes of this beautiful, but strange-looking, Looper Moth.  It seems to be wondering
"what the heck is she doing and is she going to squash me?"  Macro photography opens up a whole new world
for the novice photographer with affordable macro lenses and cameras .  I think I see these moths more than any
because they are out in droves in the daytime.  © Carol Davis, 5-17-2009
