Last summer, I went to Iowa to visit family. But of course time was spent looking for critters. There will be several installments.
Angulose Prominent Moth, Peridea angulosa.

Antlion, I think Myrmeleon immaculatus. A lot bigger than the antlions back home!

After this picture from the porch light, I brought it inside my brothers' immaculately clean house to get extreme close up pictures. But it got away and I never did find it. I kept quiet about that!🤐

Incredible photos Mark. The first two moths look similar to photos I submitted recently. Cousins maybe.
