Yellow-necked caterpillar moth (Datana ministra sp.) #7902

I have already showed images of this odd-looking moth from the side, and from above, and now here it is, head on! I wish it was sharper, but as I recall it was a windy day and difficult to keep the leaf still at this angle while I photographed. Still, it shows what an interesting critter this is!

Yes, now we are talking face to face ;)!
Great shot despite wind, sharpness is not necessary in a shot like this :)
