A Very Patient Model, Pt. 2 - _TNY_7732S8

As I was going to work one evening in early November (yes, I work nights) I noticed a medium-sized but pretty moth on the sill outside the window. Since my macro rig wasn't assembled there was no time to take any photos so I went off to work.

Then I came back home early in the morning and noticed it hadn't moved a millimeter during the night. Didn't want to wake the family up with assembling my camera gear so I went to bed instead.

When I woke up (i.e. in the middle of the day) and had eaten breakfast me and the wife went to see a couple of friends and when leaving I saw that guy still in the same place! Still no time for a shot though. Getting back home afterwards and seeing it still there (just before dinner) I decided it had frozen to death or something but figured I could still get a shot of it and (finally) got the camera and took a few shots. Then I decided to turn it around to get a better angle and discovered that it wasn't dead - just sleeping! I ended up with a couple of more shots while he was warming up the system before flying off.

This is an eight shot stack taken handheld using the MP-E65mm at 1.8:1 magnification and assembled in ZereneStacker (DMax) and the species is called December moth (Poecilocampa populi) and it (unsurprisingly) will fly far into December, making that beautiful fur probably very useful.
