I've got some macro pictures to share with the #AmazingNature community.

Most moths are nocturnal flier insects that are active at night, although some species are also active during the day.

For those of you who prefer macro photography, finding nocturnal moths during the day can be considered a stroke of luck. Since they are sound asleep at that time, I will make sure you are free to take pictures of them as you choose.

I recently caught two different species of moths. In spite of the wind blowing lightly at that moment, as you can see, I succeeded in photographing them from various angles without encountering any obstacles.

I looked for credible sources to help me distinguish between the two species; the first is the Streblote panda (Hübner, 1822), and the second is the female Perina nuda (Fabricius, 1787).
