The Moths Who Came To Dinner: these two beauties showed up as we were dining on the porch this evening. On the left, the White-dotted Prominent; on the right, the Unspotted Looper. Nature is amazing #Moths #MothsMatter #TeamMoth #Naturephotography

Close-up of a cream and yellow moth with subtle rust and taupe markings. The moth is resting on the painted floorboards of a wooden porch. He has a tufted head, and fat and fuzzy legs. Close-up of a moth in shades of sienna, taupe, and orange. He rests on the same porch as the other moth, and also has a tufted head.

What part of the state are you in... I'm going to have to look a lot harder where I am. (West Central WI). Once upon a time, very long ago, I studied mosquitoes. Wrote my Masters Thesis on mosquito larvae.

Well, I'll be.... I'm about an hour and 15 east... outside of Eau Claire. I "should" be seeing more butterflies and moths; I'll have to up my observation game before summer is over.
