Do butterflies and moths make easy subjects for photography?
Well yes and no! Most moths are fairly docile during the day and will readily submit to being picked up on a pencil gently inserted beneath their body and deposited on a suitable surface. Others are just the opposite and will either fly away if disturbed, or, in the case of moths, immediately head for cover. A moth has many enemies and to survive it has keep still and to try to blend in with its background or it has to hide.
