Great photos... they always see me coming and take off.

And you're right butterfly. I learned easy rule of thumb if the antena have knobs on the end they are butterflies... no knobs = moth.

Elaine

Thanks, Awais and Christina!

I'd never heard that about the difference between butterflies and moths. I'll remember that!
