I've seen one of these before... i asked around (because i caught it and showed people...) they told me it was a moth that usually lives in farm land. Fantastic shots FYI.

What ever it is I love it! It reminds me of the Heimlech in A Bugs Life, towards the end when he finally gets his wings. That aside, those are great photographs. I love the tones.

What an unusual critter. Maybe it's a fat moth? Great catch!
