my delicious loose ends
Pyrausta inornatalis
🦋 Pyrausta inornatalis is a tiny moth with a wingspan of 13-16 mm.
Its size makes it the most challenging wildlife I’ve tried to photograph thus far—as I would get closer and try to pick up more detail, the macro lens would quickly blur out of focus. Lucky for me, the moth did not move while I was doing all of this experimenting.
Its forewings are a uniform reddish pink without eye-spots or distinct markings, while the hindwings tucked underneath are a soft brownish-gray, paler at the base, and edged with pink.
With large, yellow-green eyes and brown antennae, adults are seen on wing from March to November across various habitats.
Welcome to the #estagram series, a blog-based grid collection that conveys what I’m learning in my daily mindfulness practice.
Creating mantras I can repeat to myself helps me stay grounded in challenging moments, and it reminds me how worthy I already am. Macro photography is an art that reminds me to make moments for stillness and tranquility. Weaving together these mantras and macro moments into a special blog feed is an essential element of my mindfulness practice that deserves to be preserved.
