    The second is a Crane Fly, sometimes known as Daddy Long Legs. It only has 1 pair of wings where a dragonfly has 2.

    Love these shots, that butterfly sure knows how to hide. Well spotted!

    The camouflage in your third photo is stunning - a really lovely composition.

    Thanks, Michael. I learned something new and interesting! We have spiders here that are called Daddy Long Legs.

    Oh he's definitely not a moth. He's a Speckled Wood Butterfly (Pararge aegeria). Pretty mini beast. :)

    Excellent close-up shots. The last one shows how the protective coloration of the butterfly works.
