Thank you too Jacob & Lars!
Great shots and spotting, Karen
Thanks Tamar! Now I've discovered there seems to be an endless supply of different moths that visit our porch light at night I think I shall have plenty to keep me going for a while yet! Unfortunately they are mainly the nondescript drab variety but I'm keeping my fingers crossed I will find a spectacular silk or sphinx moth eventually!
Congrats, Karen!
Beautiful series! Congrats on the milestone!! I think this is a great way to reach it.
I was just looking at my spottings and what I still need to post and thinking how many there were...and then I looked at the number of submissions you have. Hah! Keep on spotting!
Thanks Torsten, Neil & Sergio!
Great series, congrats.
