Nurturing Thursday: Learning
Develop a passion for learning. If you do, you will never cease to grow ~ Anthony J. D’Angelo
My biology general knowledge is very limited. WordPress or to be precise my fellow bloggers have helped me learning about many new things. Few days ago I shared a photo in macro photography. I had no information about this little beauty. Mick Canning of My writings shared the name of the insect. It was “Burnett Moth”, til then I have never heard about it. Hurray I learned something.
This is a five-spot burnet moth. Here are some images of moths.
Some butterflies from archive (are they really butterflies 😀 )

Macro Monday: 1/19
Usally I don’t check the camera setting but since I have asked to mention the same. Here is it: 1/1250 sek. f/5,6 300 mm. I didn’t want to disturb the fly hence it was taken from quite a distance and even then I had to crop the sides to make it better visible.
This image was taken in southern Italy.
