I had a difficult time keeping this critter still, some evidence of motion, but overall... I was able to complete the shot. It has a remarkable texture, so be sure to zoom! Please download and use these open source images for your own purposes. If you do, please reference Macroscopic Solutions. Photography information: All of the images in this database were captured with the Macropod. The Macropod is a rigid, portable photomacrography system, which allows the user to make razor sharp, fully focused photographs of small sized specimens at 18 to 26-megapixel resolution. It overcomes the extreme Depth of Field (DOF) limitations inherent in optics designed to image smaller specimens. Normally, lenses designed for macro will only render a very small fraction of the depth of targeted specimen in sharp focus at any one exposure. The Macropod allows the user to select and make multiple exposures in precise increments along the Z-axis (depth) such that each exposureâs area of sharp focus overlaps with the previous and next exposure. These source images are then transferred to a computer and merged by an image-stacking program. Zerene Stacker is used to find and stitch together only the focused pixels from each exposure into one image. The Macropod integrates industry-leading components in a novel and elegant way to achieve these results.

"Just put a name to this moth while trying to ID something else. An ""accidental identification"". Photographed in Shenandoah NP a few summers ago."

Definitely a slug moth, but not 100% sure of the species. Looks pretty similar to a photo here: http://mothphotographersgroup.msstate.edu/species.php?hodges=4657

Either 238700 â 4653 â Red-crossed Button Slug Moth â Tortricidia pallida, or 238750 â 4654 â Abbreviated Button Slug Moth â Tortricidia flexuosa. BugGuide cites Wagner saying they can't be told apart, but continues to place pale specimens in T. pallida & well-marked in T. flexuosa. 12.1 mm long, head to baseline. Must have hit the habitat & flight season right for slug moths (family Limacodidae), because I went from never having seen a single species to seeing 7or 8 in 1 night.
