Thanks Simon!
Rob, I've seen a few here too - they are slow flying & rather clumsy but very pretty!

Thanks Laura! I love them too - this little guy was hanging out with all the moths by one of our outside lights & narrowly escaped being trodden on!

What a beauty, Karen! I remember playing with June bugs in my garden in Ontario :) They're such gentle things! This one is stunning. Fantastic photos!
