Moth Faces

12th July 2010, Monday

Moths are gernerally seen and photographed from above, but they take on a different character if viewed face to face. I remember back in the 1980’s some fascinating photos of moth “faces” by Michael Tweedie, a local naturalist. So yesterday I took some photos of moths caught in Northiam.
