It’s National Moth week! Tonight, leave the porch light on and see what types of moths live in your neighborhood. (Just don’t let them in if you value your wool sweaters.)
If you live in Eastern North America, you may see Actias luna, the luna moth. Adult luna moths have only vestigial mouth-parts and do not feed; this phase of their life cycle is dedicated only to mating and laying eggs.gif from Biologia Centrali Americana Insecta. Lepidoptera-Heterocera v.3
Actias maenas (large) and Leucophlebia lineata (small) from The cabinet of oriental entomology

A beautiful photo of first light at Glacier National Park in Montana. Of the image, photographer Kevin LeFevre says: “While shooting the sunrise at Bowman Lake, we were graced with this meandering doe. I scrambled to change my camera settings to accommodate the movement and pulled off this solitary photo. A once in a lifetime.” While parts of Glacier are closed because of Reynolds Creek Fire, most of the park remains open, including Bowman Lake area. Photo courtesy of Kevin LeFevre.
