I've been cleaning out my hard drive. Tonight, I ran across these photos of a few moths that visited me last summer; good memories.
None of them have been identified, as yet. I'll get that
one of these days.This first one was on my window: I took the photo against the light, and got his silhouette and feather markings. From outside, he was a pale grey, and the markings were almost invisible.
A green moth, very small.
Odd ruffles and camouflage markings. About an inch long.
Very elegant, I think.
Not so elegant. Look at those eyes!
Overhead, on the door frame, lying flat.
Greenish eyes and a flat snout. This moth is shaped more like a geometric study than a flying insect.
Here she is again. I think that little round pink blob is an egg. UPDATE: She's a plume moth.

And today, I noticed the first yellow buds on my perennial primroses. Spring, she's a-comin'!
I see you are resurrecting some old(er) photos too!
ReplyDeleteSpring ain't a commin' here ... snowing at the moment.
I like that last bug/moth, flying thing, pretty freaky, Spruce Goosy! Get well soon!
ReplyDeleteHi, I'm interested in that last moth you have a picture of. We've had one around this summer, and we are trying to find out what it is. Have you found out it's name yet?
ReplyDeleteThanks
Holly, it's a plume moth. Here's the BugGuide page on them. You may find yours in the thumbnails.
