Alfalfa Looper
Moth (three photos)
Autographa californica
1 inch

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

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
