Quenching the midnight thirst

[Prajwal J Ullal]

ID: Geometrid moth

Spotted this tiny beauty feeding itself from the clouts of an acacia plant, almost at the midnight, while we were out for the night trail at Phansad. We could spot it drinking, at the same time disposing off the excess water from the rear. Usually known for its nocturnal activities, it was interesting to document the beauty in action

Nice to see you could document both the activites in the same photograph. It would be an amazing experience to go on a night trail. Look forward to more from Phansad. Thanks for sharing.

Nice one. The water droplet has come out well. What lights did you use? Look forward to hearing more about your night trek experiences. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Used a headlight for spotting and focusing, External flash for the scene.

We had been a bit early, leading to below average sightings
