I have to say that seeing the words "frothing", "giant" and "moth" together freaked me out ever so slightly :) Glad I clicked for the bigger view, though: this is great. Love the wild colour!
I used a drafting circle template and watercolour. I did not wet the circle first before applying the colour and then kept the edges of the template pressed down tightly with my fingers. I have owned that circle template for about 30 years and it is bizarre to me how many times I have used it. We should post a question for fun: What are your most useful tools?

Wow! Love the colors. Feels like he's coming right at you. How did you get the circles in the background?

Lovely work - this is my first visit to your blog and I'm glad to see it. This moth is so lively and colorful!
I've got a circle template too and use it quite a bit : )

Oooh, I almost ducked, looks like he's coming straight at me.
