very good shot Lee, I have tried this the last week several times, but the only result were some flowers...

Excellent capture, Lee! This must be a rare sighting of this type of moth!

Actually these are quite common in this area. They are hard to capture because they never stay still. I think a shot from the side like this shows the beauty of the insect. I also think the tail looks something like a crawfish or lobster.
