Midnight Moth

As I eased my way cautiously up my icy front walkway late this evening - almost midnight - I had no idea what was waiting for me on my front porch, but from the fact that I am writing a blog about it you can probably guess...

Backyard Bug of the Day!

 I am calling this my Merry ChristMOTH. There were two of them, but the other was too high up on the wall to get a picture.

There was a tiny crane fly, too. Today the temperature was in the mid-40s (and it rained most of the day), but it was around the freezing mark when I got home, so I was really surprised to see insects on the porch. Pleasantly surprised.

Happy Holidays, Bug Fans!
