what I like most about this is how the back of the moth's head looks
like a face, complete with smile, as a point of defense I'd guess...
like you wouldn't dare try to grab me when I'm looking at you would you?
again, a tad light on my screen... but perhaps elsewhere it isn't.

There were thousands upon thousands of these all over the park by the
lake this past weekend. From afar they just look like purple-winged
moths, about and inch or two long. It's only when you get closer up
that you see their orange heads and iridescent abdomens (I think
that's the abdomen - below the head). They spend most of their time
in the air, and if they're perched they will flit off once you get
closer than about 2 or 3 feet, so I didn't get as many good shots as
I'd have liked. This one was one of the better ones:

Hope you enjoy. The insect-catching birds certainly enjoyed; they
were having a field day!
Comments welcome.
cheers,
