Cosmorrhyncha, m, genitalia

GENITALIA! In this case the beautiful genitalia of Cosmorrhyncha one of the bitty moths in the family Tortricidae. Thanks to John W. Brown for supplying the slide. See previous picture for more details. For some reason this makes me think of biker gang insignia....

USGSBIML Photoshopping Technique: Note that we now have added using the burn tool at 50% opacity set to shadows to clean up the halos that bleed into the black background from "hot" color sections of the picture.
