I almost expect to see the front and profile views like they put on those aircraft identification cards we had in the army. Or at least technical specs on the capabilities of the Mumbai Moth. ("With its variable swept wing design, the moth can take of in very limited space, but once airborne with the wings swept, it can achieve airspeeds up to 400 knots.")
He is quite lordly from this perspective.
ReplyDeleteHave to agree with Sandy -- lordly, indeed! Great shot, as always!
ReplyDeleteGreat close-up. He's an interesting critter.
ReplyDeleteSandy is right. A regal flyer of the Mumbai night. Oh to see what he spies!
ReplyDeleteNamaste & Aloha, Friend!

ReplyDeleteThe moth,
ReplyDeleteEnraged,
Beats against the lamp,
His wings forming
Countless tiny fans,
And falls at last
A fragile pinch of gray ashes.
The lamp burns on,
Tranquilly ........

Your Mumbai Moth has grown! What makes it a Mumbai moth? Or did I already ask you that...
