A really fantastic capture, can't fault it. I never see many moths in the day time, is this a day flying moth? If not was it surprised by you and therefore opened its wings? Jon

Thanks for the great comments everyone



Yes Jon these are day flyers, the males are anyway. The females are quite docile and don't fly much and let the males come to them

On the SuperMacro Capabilities of the Fuji 7000, S20Pro need I say more? The old S602 delivered the same performance.



It I could get a lens for my canon at the price you will get a Fuji 7000 I would be very happy.
