This is picture no. 3 which I post from 'Anne's Garden' in the Swiss Alps.

The picture shows a micromoth with extreme long antennae. Correspondingly it belongs to the longhorn moths. The species is probably
- Nemophora metallica
- family: Adelidae

Species information
The species is widely distributed in Europe. In contrast to most other species of the family Adelidae, the flight period of N. metallica is in the summer. It prefers to visit Scabiosa and Knautia flowers as can be seen on the picture.

Location
Anne's 'Garden'
Swiss Alps, Valais (Wallis), Bürchen, about 1650m

Conditions
- natural bright sunlight
- wind
- handheld

Hi Peter.
You have pictured a very nice scene. Both flower and little moth are wonderful. I like great DOF and superb reproduction of all details of the lower and its visitor. POV, composition, lighting and colours are fine too. Well done and TFS.
Alexei.

Hallo Peter,
Das ist ein spezielles Bild mit einer speziellen Kreatur. Mir gefallen besonders die feinen Farben und die fast dreidimesionale Blüte der Knautia (fast wie eine offene Hand). Hab den Falter übrigens auch auf einer (schon verwelkten) Witwenblume fotografiert. Die Fühler ganz ins Bild zu bringen ist nicht ganz einfach..ich habe mich meistens für eine bestimmte Distanz entschieden.
Ich hoffe, dass es Euch allen gut geht und schicke herzliche Grüsse
Anne
