Caught this lady in a white fur coat hanging out on a black door about noon the other day. I think it’s a Packard’s White Flannel Moth, but I’m no entomologist so I could certainly be wrong. She was dug in pretty tight, and had her eyes hidden from the harsh mid day sun. She was about 1/2″ long. Was going to go in the door and saw her so doubled back to my kit and threw on my trusty old 105 AIS f/4 micro with PN-11 extension tube (for the non-photographer crowd, that’s a lense to shoot close ups or macro) and an SB-800 so I could shoot f32.
The old 105 that I use has been around forever, and it looks like it….but crystal clear and I wouldn’t trade it for the world.

Lovely creature, and upon closer examination, she appears to have toes ; )
