2019 August 5 afternoon<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/strong><\/p>\n

  <\/strong>  Thanks to Scott Gilmore and Libby Avis for pointing out my misidentification of the moth seen in yesterday’s Butterfly Walk.  See this morning posting, where I now have the correct label.  Apologies to viewers and especially to the photographers.  It is not a footman moth, but a scape moth – same family, subfamily and tribe, but different subtribe!<\/p>\n

  If this morning’s posting was rated PG (the coppers!), this afternoon’s posting is decidedly rated  X<\/strong>.  If you are of a nervous disposition don’t look at the next photograph, one of several insects and spiders photographed by Sean McCann at Island View Beach yesterday.  The robber fly was Identified almost simultaneously by Sean and by Rob Cannings.  The rest by Sean.<\/p>\n
