That's more like it.

Have I inspired you, Mike?

Previously, we were in close competition for the title of crappiest, most out-of-focus pics on this forum. Now we've both posted pics that are in focus.

I'll put things right with something blurry soon

They're big ol' moths those, aren't they!

P.S. Using a proper camera is cheating

A a nipper I used to be mad on moths and butterflies, even got on old 120print of me chasing butterflies taken before I was five.
The moth helped me to be prepared, the previous morning it, or another ine like it, was resting behind the net curtain Below is the best I could manage, even with flash.
The k10 Ive had from new but most pics being with my iPad, my days of two bodies and a bag of lenses ended with 35mm, now Im just a snapper.
I must say the autofocus and anti-shake on these digital cameras makes taking decent shots so much easier.
