Bhutan is home to a staggering 2,000 - well almost - moth species. That is twice the number of butterflies we have. Not that I understand these lepidopterans - but I love them because they are beautiful. As a nature photographer, I love beauty - in any form: I see them and if I do not see them, I create them in my mind's eyes and reproduce them in graphic form.
The following are 12 of the moths I photographed in Dechencholing areas of Thimphu in the past 6 months.
ENJOY!
