Backyard Co-Bug of the Day #1:
This moth is called Clymene Haploa. It's definitely one of the more striking ones I have seen.
Backyard Co-Bug of the Day #2:
This is a female fishfly. There was one flying around my room last night when I went up to go to bed, and I had to carefully catch it an send it out the window. It's wings are too long and delicate for the bug vacuum. There were a couple of them on the front porch when I got home tonight, and this particular one would settle for a couple of seconds in this pose, and then start flying around frantically, beating against the light.
I think this is the same kind of bug, but I am not sure. It could be another species. It could be the male. It's a bit confusing.
When they are not in a tizzy, they rest their wings like this.
This one was more interested in the screen door, and its wings were all askew.
Here is is flying.
Now... good night! I hope to have more variety for you tomorrow.
FYI: I am expecting the butterfly in the chrysalis to eclose tomorrow!
