I'm going back out tomorrow morning for a bit. It was 97 with oppressive humidity today. I don't know which was worse the being roasted or being steamed.

Nice shot of that Eight-spotted Forester Moth (Alypia octomaculata) Gary. Fine work.

Very good! Its been similarly hot here too, although lately we have been getting rain which has been helping.

Thanks, Mark. We haven't had the rain yet although the air is so saturated it doesn't make much difference as far as my body being wet.

That was nice find, two beauties on a pretty yellow flower - a threefer. Well shot too.

Thanks, Brenda. It's a lot like a lottery ticket. One never knows if it will pay off.
