If anyone can help with the ID of these photos, I would appreciate it. I believe there might be only two varieties of frits here. The white moth (b'fly?) with the blue fringe is also a mystery to me (poor photo, sorry!) Thanks for any help! Also, I've included one photo of one of our very prolific hummingbird moths, for which my camera managed to "still" the wings. They move so rapidly, and never stop - just like hummingbirds - so in case folks have never seen their wings, I put this one up here for you. |
