What's Looking at who?

Ever notice how some species seem to have eyes where there really are none? Here's an example of what I mean:
This wing has eyes that seem to be at you. It evens seems to be smiling at you.
But it seems that this is really where it's probably are.

A little reminder to all you poor folks that have had enough of winters cold and snow;
While ours are withering away, yours will soon be blossoming out> Pink Red

Hang in there, soon the cold, the grey, the slush, mud and misery will be all gone. Then will come the april showers that bring the flowers- and more mud. Soon it will be summer- then you will be hot and sweaty. Ah, well, those be the seasons. I think you will like fall.

Me thinks it will be awhile before those in the snow and cold will see the likes of these beautiful sights. I love those "eyes".

Thank you all, that moth was a find. A little girl was the one that found it, slowed up by the cold I imagine, or it got into some pesticide. Hard to know, just glad she found it. Some of the inner markings on the wing "eyes" actually reflect the light at a certain angle, I tried to get that in the left "eye" in "winking".

- So shoot already!!

Great moth shots, loved them. Me thinks spring can't get here too soon. I've forgotten what the sun feels like!

The reflection of the eye in "Winking" is astonishing. Three months before we see flowers up here in Canada.Oh well.

Eyeballs sent me over the edge, too many hairy critters for me. I saw so much, I may not sleep, or at least not alone. Really ewwwwww! Great details. Could almost count the hairs.
