Friday Night Photos - OT
Submitted by dystopian on Fri, 07/16/2021 - 9:37pmHi all! I don't see anything here yet, so maybe everybody is busy... Hope all are doing well! I'll toss a couple up here to get things started and please do let it rip!
Mrs.Dysto and I did a few mile walk Sunday at the local state park. A highlight for me was one of the 'hummingbird hawkmoth' group of Sphinx Moths. Genus Aellopos, species probably clavipes. They are diurnal moths, though tending toward crepuscular.
They use front legs to steady themselves when nectaring.
