Neat moth capture.... I would have had a field day attempting to get a capture of these moths.

From afar they just look like purple-winged moths, about and inch or two long. It's only when you get closer up that you see their orange heads and iridescent abdomens (I think that's the abdomen - below the head). They spend most of their time in the air, and if they're perched they will flit off once you get closer than about 2 or 3 feet, so I didn't get as many good shots as I'd have liked. This one was one of the better ones: http://knarfdummyblog.blogspot.com/2011/07/moth.html Hope you enjoy. The insect-catching birds certainly enjoyed; they were having a field day!
