This is a close-up of a fall webworm moth (Hyphantria cunea) taken from behind. Although I did use the flash to achieve this lighting, I also used the lens itself to block the flash from hitting the moth directly (the lens rested against the tip of the moth’s wings). It should be noted I allowed this moth to pupate inside the house once I discovered a fall webworm had made its way inside and built a cocoon. It finally came out of its shell and greeted me this morning from the wall above the fireplace. I’ve since moved it outside.
