Super pics.

I used to practise moth spotting when I was a kid. The one you got there is next to invisible!

What a visual treat, Hayath!  Those interested in camoflage could take a lesson or two from Mother Nature.

Thanks a ton, Sunil, Thad EG, Henry and Ashutosh for the kind words! :)

Thad - interesting! Must've helped you hone spotting skills. Moths' camouflage generally is a notch higher

Henry - nice to see your comment, been a while!

I fancied that I was good at it, but, of course, don't know how many I missed  ;D
