Hi there,

this one here is called a wedge-tailed hillstar (Adela reaumurella) and I found the moth in a field near my house on May 23th.
It was really windy and therefor I needed over 30 minutes for two sharp photos... but it was worth the effort.

Alright, so you waited for the wind to calm down to take these perfect images?
