Optimism

Today I had a little time, and a lot of sunshine, and I was feeling optimistic after finding bugs on the front porch last night, so I did a quick bug walk before we went out for the day. I saw a few gnats, nothing interesting or even photographable, but I did enjoy the sunshine, which has been scarce lately, and I found an interesting insect in the house.

Backyard Bug of the Day:

Plume moth, on the bathroom skylight. I had to stand on the counter, one foot on either side of the sink, to get this picture. I am pretty sure this is another insect that came in with the Christmas tree. This is definitely NOT an insect I see this time of year. Another ChristMOTH?
