Chrysiridia rhipheus (Madagascan sunset moth)

I can hardly count the number of times I've photographed this spectacular moth. Like many others, most of the time I concentrated on the obvious... the dramatic iridescent scales seen in the first image. This time I thought I would look more at some backlit scales that were more "pedestrian", lacking the brilliant structural color that attract so much attention.
