Here are several pictures I took of various moths in the past few months. The top one has a really beautiful pattern and a very interesting pair of long antennae. It's only about 1/4" long, and its antennae are twice as long! Amazing! The second moth is about the same length and I found it drinking nectar from a Woodland Star blossom. The last pair of images show a Propertius Duskywing Skipper. The first is a close up portrait, the second shows the full body, originally posted back in April. (By the way, a skipper is inbetween a butterfly and a moth. Some are more like a butterfly, others are more like a moth.
