Before I get to my normal post today I wanted to show you this funny picture someone sent me of a "horsefly". LOL!! Someone out there has a GREAT sense of humor. LOL!!
In the camping grounds where I was, there were some light on throughout the night and they would attract a lot of moths and the predators which ate them so I decided to get up at midnight and see what was going on out there. There were a few which appeared in my book so I have names for them like this Speckled Ermine Moth (Yponomeuta fumigata).
Streaked Ermine
The one in the next three pictures looks very uninteresting at first but its body has wonderful colors so I picked it up to get some photographs.
It also had the nicest eyes.
In the morning when I woke up a few of them had already died as some of them have a very short lifespan.
