Re: Silk Moth: Saturniidae

Hi to all:

Thank you for the comments on this vintage photo from my collection.  The *ist D was an excellent camera for producing bright, colorful images.  Unfortunately, these moths are becoming very uncommon and I was lucky to have captured this one perched on a low hanging branch behind where I work.  This in efect is a coffee break bug shot .  Once again thank you for checking out my shot.

As Always,

Jim
