Thanks for the comments. It is a moth. The EXIF data is: f/8, 1/50, ISO 200, focal length 260mm, Lens 70-300 AF-S VR. No flash. I did use a CPL filter to take out the fuzzy look most moths have to bring out the color. CPL filters do wonders for intensifying colors. Also note this was shot at 1/50 sec. with a focal length of 260mm and was hand held. For hand held shots the old rule was a shutter speed of 1/xx the focal length. In this case I would have had to have a shutter speed of at least 1/260 sec. to get the shot. With VR, vibration reduction, substantially lower speeds can be used. In this case what you see is the shot I got. The CPL did the in camera color work and all I did was sharpen it up and added a bit of black point. No other PP was done.
