A delicate soufflé of multi-colored marshmallows, few people can leave indifferent, when you visit a pastry shop.
Something similar, I experience, in the middle of green meadows, where, on flowers, colorful sweets hide.
Sometimes, they take off and circle over me.
These are small and colorful moths called Kretania sephirus.
They are called Kretania sephirus, apparently because they look very delicate and fragile.
The variety of species of these moths is huge. I've seen white people. blue, yellow and orange moths, in such colors, sometimes, color sweet marshmallows, which pleases our taste buds.
The first three pictures I took two days ago, in the outskirts of our city.
This moth, dressed in a warm, fuzzy fur coat, looks a bit like a winged bigfoot.
The brightest is the inner part of the wings, and the outer part is plain.
Such glades are the favorite habitat of these moths.
Every year, I add to the collection of photographs that depict these beautiful creatures.
You can see several of my earlier works
In the early morning, while it is still cool, these moths sit motionless on flowers and this allows me to come close and take pictures.
Here you see a white marshmallow. Apparently, this is a female, her wings, without a characteristic pattern.
In fact, these moths got their name, in honor of the god of the wind, called marshmallows. It was a winged boy with butterfly wings, but I prefer the variation with the resemblance to a sweet meringue.
I hope my collection will grow.

For my publications, I do not use stock photographs, it is fundamentally important for me to use photographs that I have made with my own hands for publication and I can name them - authorial work.
