Just back from one of our best ever trips to #DenaliNationalPark Gorgeous weather all week and saw a wolf for the first time in more than 5 years. While driving out, Mama bear and cubs walked right past our RV. Tons of pix to go through. #Alaska #Denali #Bears #Wolves #WildLifePhotography

Overhead shot of 2cm moth on a fingertip. Chunky. Wings tented like an inverted V. Largely brown with 10 pink-brown splodges, six of which are arranged down the central line in a way that resemble a surprised face. Two other splodges are in each of the wing corners.
Side on shot of Peach Blossom moth on a finger. It faces right. It has a pinkish-brown furry head which is layered or ruffled. The wing is brown with two quite large pale circular stigmata nestled in the rear corner. Across its back, down the middle are more circular stigmata which are pinky-brown and edged in white. Its wing edge at the back is fringed.
A side on shot of a 2cm, creamy, pale custard yellow moth on a finger. It faces right. It has a very furry head. It holds its wings in a tented, inverted V position. A series of black rectangles come from the middle of the apex of the tented wings and head diagonally left towards the visible wing corner. (It would also do the same on the non-visible side). The rectangles start larger and become smaller and more spaced out as they reach the wing corner, bottom left. There are a couple of small black marks dotted randomly elsewhere on the wing. It has black legs at the front holding the finger and two short, thin, wiry antennae poking forwards from its head
Overhead shot of a flat butterfly-like moth on concrete. It is ghostly white, almost transparent. Its two forewings are spread open, revealing its two hindwings of the same colour underneath. Imagine a handheld fan that is spread open. There are three very faint, thin, equidistant, greenish wavy lines that start at the top edge of the forewing and run across all four wings to the right forewing edge in a shallow U shaped arc. Where the lines cross over each wing, they appear unbroken, like matching-up the pattern from individual sheets of wallpaper.
