    Wierd critters! From the shape of #4 I'd say it's one of those new "stealth" moths. #2 might be a mobile ground to air missile defense system searching for it. :D

    Lovely shots- congrats on the first jumper of the year.
    Jack beat me to the comments re the family of low radar stealth moths - maybe it doesn't reflect bat calls :)

    Sorry Gary your moth is not in my book ne_nau.gif
    Congratulations on the Jumpers :ivar
    I rescued one the other day in my laundry as I was heading out the door in a hurry to go to work.

    Actually I rescued another spider from the Green Bin in the Garage,
    took him to a new home next to the fence.

    Geez they disappear fast, I was going to get my camera,
    but it took off ....... ohhhh well rolleyes1.gif

    Maybe I'm just meant to rescue this week hehehe!

    Nice work Gary thumb.gif ... Skippy :D

    nice pictures Gary - I like number two of the jumper series and I've also drawn a blank on the moth id from my books as well :(
