Canadian photographer Jim des Rivieres really surprised me. Who would have thought that the area of Ottawa is quite cool to over with three hundred species of exotic butterflies? Jim became interested in butterfly photography, namely, moles, and moths. The passion came to him two years ago, when he carried away photographing butterflies and found that species of moths in the vicinity of Ottawa’s much more than butterflies. From the moment he started shooting these exotic creatures in the night and the result is in front of you. Currently, his photographs are exhibited in North America.

Exotic moths are a fascinating and diverse group of insects known for their captivating beauty and unique characteristics. These winged creatures come in a dazzling array of colors, patterns, and sizes, captivating the imagination of insect enthusiasts and nature lovers. With their intricate wing designs and often vibrant hues, exotic moths showcase nature’s artistic prowess.

From the enormous Atlas Moth, with its impressive wingspan, to the delicate and iridescent Luna Moth, each species possesses its own allure. These elusive creatures, often found in tropical regions around the world, serve as a reminder of the incredible diversity and beauty that can be found in the natural world.
