The brown sand moth is quite common throughout the Netherlands. It's a beautiful butterfly with beige and orange tones. I photographed this butterfly in a rough grassland. I see them mainly with very warm sunny weather. It feels great on the flowers with nectar from blackberries. However, this butterfly is sitting on a beautiful thistle.

In my photography I like to work with light, shadow and color. It is the basis of life from which all beauty in nature originates.
