Why the moth was so intent on the tomato is a mystery. I carried it downstairs, set up a bunch of lights, moved things around a couple of times, and the moth kept on eating.

And then he forgot about it and the moth "disappeared" into the house!

that's something to wake up to
That's incredible. What lens did you use to get this one?
The 300mm zoom w/close-up attachment.
Same lens as used here:

I'm pretty sure the tomato ATE the moth.
That tomato was looking a little flushed and smug when I retrieved it. Would also explain why the moth never took flight.
