okay, slight delay...

  
I think the SUPER stunning moth I photographed 2 days ago is the precise species a friend of mine was working on when I met him ('cause our professional paths crossed) so I want to confirm that first.

If it IS that species, then I think I "get" why, karmically, I got to see this incredible animal. A stunning reward for a tiny thing (approving a research permit for said researcher).

WOW.

Well, really, I'm just lucky. WAY lucky.

And a good audience.

=)

All I can say now is it's worth the wait.

Holy cow.

I seriously cannot believe my luck.
