the
Swift Moth
This furry teddy bear of a moth is only 30mm long!
The print is best at least 24″ long! But do go larger, there is plenty of detail.
Swiftie spent almost a year underground as a grub, to appear above ground as a moth, for a lifespan of about a week. Just to bonk. Not eat – he/she has no mouth parts when they are ‘reborn’ as this magnificent furry flying thing. What a life….
You won’t see many shots quite like this out there. I’m really proud of this one. I went max macro for this one!
