These can't be moths....everyone knows moths are brown or gray. :-)

Wanted to make sure the subject line got your attention.
Actually, these are a few moths that I shot last month at the Serra Bonita
Reserve, owned by Dr. Vitor Becker, a well-known lepidopterist and moth
specialist, located in the State of Bahia in the northeastern part of Brazil.
I know this is a little off-topic but since mothing is pretty much shot for the
rest of the year, I thought folks might like to see a taste of the incredible
diversity of form, color, and pattern that exists in neotropical moths. Each
one is a work of art. Some of these are so vivid you might think I manipulated
them in photoshop. Other than cropping the images and in some cases
highlighting images that were underexposed, these images look pretty much
exactly as the real moth does.
I'm still working on setting up a Brazilian moth web album and will let folks
know when it's posted but in the meantime, I hope you enjoy these shots.
