Iridescence

I discovered this beautiful leopard moth near a light bulb on my deck. It was snow-white with a covering of iridescent blue dots. Beauty aside, however, it was a horrible photographic subject. It rarely sat still and consistently refused to raise its head.

...Needless to say, my cichlid fish looks extra iridescent tonight.

I took the photo with an extended 35mm lens.
