LDN43 Cosmic Bat nebula aka The Silent Assassin
Moths really do not have much going for them during their brief lifetimes.
Snacking on one of your cashmere sweaters and they're likely to die legs-up on the ground from the effects of camphor.
Their attraction to light sources make them easy prey for predators, or, may result in them being splattered on a car windshield.
Had you in the past been reincarnated as a Moth, then this silent predator may just have been the last thing you saw in the final moments of that brief life.

Hey you're back at it and it looks great! :)
Thank you Casandra and it's great to see you posting again after an absence of several weeks.
As lyric as always in explanation, but elegant as always in presentation, this is indeed the cosmic bat.
Your comments are very much appreciated John as are the numerous great images you keep posting here
