I like how little things bring out something as drab as this moth so beautifully. This moth has a dull brown color, but some interesting design. It chose to rest near the bottom of this bright yellow wall, just above some green grass. The green and the yellow highlight this moth so beautifully, that it was hard to miss! Google tells me it's the dysgonia species.

It was not big at all. I guess the grass makes it look big.

Some small insects do have incredible patterns.

Yes. And the more you look at them, the more you notice

@pitstop Some photographers specialise in taking macro photos of insects' eyes and wings. The colours can be really amazing.

Yes it does. I wonder how long it lives.

@pitstop Moths live an average of one to six months.

This is an interesting mix of colours. The moth colour blends well into the yellow wall.

They are not as colorful as butterflies, but have beautiful patterns.
