Thanks so much, BigDaddy! I had read that moths rarely come out during the day. I also got some pics of a Silver Spotted Skipper that I thought was a moth, but it was out during the day. Are Skippers not moths or butterflies?
Skippers are butterflies that look like moths, in that they have a fat body and muted colors. I'm no expert however. I had the same questions when I was photographing bugs on my wifes butterfly bush, same as you. Skippers seem to be the most prolific, and least photogenic of all the butterflies.
