Very nice capture.

That looks like a good id. Thanks

As many primrose species as we have around here, I should see these moths. The tall weedy ones are blooming now.
Common Evening Primrose (Oenothera biennis)

A few more insects from the weekend. As you can see, the goldenrod is attracting them, as are the thistles just now coming into full bloom.

Six days without a post on this thread. Hate to follow myself but..
A pretty moth encountered during our AM walk. Looks like an arrowhead.

Anglewings are hard but I'm pretty sure this one is a Question Mark (named after the little marking on the underside of the wing).

Three very small insects, a stretch for field photography. Notice the bristly base of the antennae on the first insect. I've never seen that feature before.

On the prowl, looking for a nice, tasty buglet.

I've never seen mantis look that tired before.

I've posted images of this fly on other threads. It was very cooperative = stayed put for multiple exposures.
