More Moths

Ok, maybe I have a little bit of an insect fascination at the moment, I really enjoyed drawing the hurcules moth and when a friend suggested I do some bogongs I happily obliged.
Anyone that has lived in or around Canberra will be well aquainted with these guys.
Thousands of these beautiful and plentiful moths flock here every year and flap their way around every light source imaginable on their annual migration to the High Plains.
We even have a wing at work named after these furry little fellows........... they still give me the creeps, but this was rather fun, so thanks go to my dear friend Tarni.
 Oh and I cant possibly leave this post without putting their scientific name of Agrotis Infusa.

 Here a few work in progress shots, I hope you enjoy.
