This is my entry for i ♥ faces, category: Pets
I took this photo in September. It was early morning and I was at an arboretum taking pictures of flowers and such. There were lots of butterflies (and moths) around. At first I was chasing them around the flowers trying to get a good shot. They just wouldn't stay still for me. Imagine that! Then I changed tactics and lenses. I put on my big zoom lens, stepped back and stood very still. The result was lots of amazing photos. I love all the butterfly pictures I got, but I decided to submit this moth because he was different and I like his furry body. If you want to see some of the butterflies, there are here and here, here and here.
Check out the action at i ♥ faces.

This is an incredible capture!! I've used my zoom lens for some of my creature shots too because they are less apt to run/fly away.
