Amazing pics. So this is a butterfly and not a moth?

It's a moth(nachtvlinder). I did name this thread butterflies( day and night), maybe should have said butterflies and months.

Not knowing anything about moths and butterflies I didn't know that a night butterfly was a moth. Okay.
But we have a butterflies and moth thread, haven't we? Or maybe not in the Macro section.

The other one is in the Wildlife section. Maybe it's worth adding 'Macro' (and moths?) to the thread title here in order to differentiate the two?

That's a good suggestion. I'll do that.

Patrick, I'm changing the thread title to include "Macro", okay?
