I created this image of a female Virginia Ctenucha (Ctenucha virginica) a couple of days ago out in a field just behind out back yard. I don't recall seeing this species before but I was quite taken with the colours on this moth.
Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XT, Sigma 105mm (at 105mm) f2.8 Macro Handheld
1/80 seconds, FNumber - 18, Manual control, ISO 400, Flash - Flash fired, Compulsory flash mode
I would have preferred to have used a tripod but the moth kept flitting about from grass blade to grass blade. I only noticed the egg laying process when I uploaded the images to my computer.
Cropped to about 70% of full frame and Noise reduction applied.
