Two pics taken, obviously on different camera settings. The moth shone beautifully with the bathroom lights on it.lol!
Ipomea (Morning Glory)
Each flower only lasts for a day but is continually followed with further flowers daily throughout the summer.
Green Shieldbug.
I have been informed that this tiny bug is probably a 3rd instar nymph of the Green Shieldbug (Palomena prasina).

Amazing what you can find in the garden - and in the bathroom apparently. That moth's a real beauty. Well photographed too!
ReplyDeleteA fine collection of butterflies there Pam but the plume moth is the real star!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much indeed John and Jason for your kind comments!
ReplyDeleteFor such a tiny moth the plume moth is a real beauty when viewed closely. I have lost count of the number of people who think I am a bit loopy for taking an interest in moths and then I explain how intricately patterned most moths are...not just plain brown, white, grey etc etc.
One day I may purchase a moth trap and really go to town with them..the moths not the people.lol!
Lovely images from around your house and garden Pam....the Red Admiral is a beauty and I too love the effect of the mirrored Plume Moth....very well captured!
ReplyDeleteThe Plume Moth and Red Admiral were a welcome change to try my photograph skills on Ruth.lol! Thank you for your kind comment!
