Thanks so much! Glad to find insects on sunny days.
You are still finding moth in your area! Lucky you. Nothing flying about around here in Montreal. I have to go into my photo archives to stimulate my passion for enjoying moth. You have a very nice collection. What are your sources for identifying your moth? Nice finger by the way.
