Modest Moths

Not as exuberant as some butterflies, but beautiful in their own way.

The common wave (Cabera exanthemata), bruine grijsbandspanner in Dutch:


Olympus Stylus 1s, 42mm, ISO400, f8, 1/50s

The brown silver-line (Petrophora chlorosata), varenspanner in Dutch:


Olympus Stylus 1s, 42mm, ISO125, f5.6, 1/160s

The pale oak beauty (Hypomecis punctinalis), ringspikkelspanner in Dutch:


Olympus XZ-1, 28mm, ISO200, f6.3, 1/160s

The birch mocha (Cyclophora albipunctata), berkenoogspanner in Dutch:


Olympus Stylus 1s, 42mm, ISO205, f4, 1/100s

The blood-vein (Timandra comae), lieveling in Dutch:


Olympus XZ-1, 28mm, ISO200, f6.3, 1/160s

Now that you are here anyway, a question: I found this black blob, probably a stack of insect or spider eggs, on a blade of grass the other day. Please let me know if you know what it is:


Olympus Stylus 1s, 42mm, ISO200, f5.6, 1/100s

Thanks for watching!
