Blender internal is alive and kicking 
The logo is a nice touch.

this is a great image.
Loving hair on the top half of its body but hair on wings look blurry for some reason.
Blender’s logo is very well integrated!
Thank you everbody! I feel honored by this much attention. I think the hair got combed too flat on the outer part of the wings. I’m lucky that owl moths are so psychedelic to begin with. And thank you Bart at BlenderNation - you have made me as happy as a little girl. 
would you mind sharing a Wallpaper sized version of this? I’d love to have this on my desktop, it’s such a great render.
And thank you Bart at BlenderNation
well deserved I say!
I hate moths and this picture is so realistic it send shivers up my spine… so in other words you did a really great job on realism xD
