Happy New Year everyone.
While I was in my cocoa plantation, precisely when I was watering the chili plants, suddenly there was a moth flying beside me, and this was a tiger moth, in my area this moth is called a tiger moth, but I don't know the name of this moth in other areas, because each place will definitely have different names.This moth is very small in size and is known to be very wild, it is very difficult to approach this moth because it is very sensitive to movement and sound, I had to try several times just to get close to it.

I know, if I photograph this moth using only my cellphone camera, the results will definitely look less good and lack detail, so to get maximum results I also tried to photograph this moth using the help of a macro lens. Luckily I managed to photograph this moth from several different angles, from the front, side and back, and the results were also quite satisfying.
And now take a look at some of the photos below.
