I disturbed this Shield Bug when watering the plum tree this morning. I had to use the onboard flash for this.
The other two I found outside late last night on the mosquito net.
Nikon D7000, Nikon 105mm. macro at f16, 1/200, ISO 200.

Really tiny moth. Mesh is almost too small to see.

Your shield bug is excellent. I want for you to measure the screen mesh. How many square lengths in a centimeter = built-in scale.

Hi Douglass, there are 7 squares per cm. length - ie 49 in each square cm.
I had cropped the photo slightly.

Your moth is a bit longer than 4-squares, so about 5-mm long.
