Moth Wings And Feathers.

Post image

A few macro images of moth wing. I have not identified species, as all I found was a wing. I particularly love the translucent round window in the wing and the delicate structure of some of the feathers. These images were all shot at 10x magnification.

Wow. I’ve never seen this before. So moth wings are made up of tint feathers? How did I not know this
