Thinking that it would be appropriate to have a challenge on butterflies and moths since the butterflies and

moths will be scarce soon. Monarchs Will be migrating to Mexico in the near future. They are such beautiful

pollinators. Here are a couple of great videos that are very good on the subject...

I haven't had much time to get out and shoot this week, so here are a few oldies from '07-'09, taken with my old Kodak 6MP camera. Not sure what kind they are

Interesting colors. Thanks for sharing.

We recently went to Stan Hywet Hall, home of the Seiberlings, in Akron, Ohio. They have a butterfly habitat with a Butterflies of North America exhibit and with a volunteer or employee to help and answer questions.
It is very interesting. They do warn people to watch where they are stepping. It is amazing how much the butterflies can withstand and still survive.

I've never focused much, so to speak, on moths and butterflies, so not much to contribute to this challenge. However, I did find this hanging out on the side of my SUV's tire one day and snapped a photo with my iPhone. I'm pretty sure it's a luna moth caterpillar, so I guess it counts.

A fluttering "butterfly" caught my eye as I hiked along a trail on the Northern California coast. It settled down, I took a closer look, and realized that it was a pair of Sheep moths mating. Butterflies get all the acclaim, but these moths are incredible!

Good ones!
