juhur7, thanks for the nice comment on my pics. They have improved considerably since I started photography and butterfly observations last August. Since Buckeyes migrate, hopefully some will be visiting you soon. It is really difficult to get pics of clearwing moths since they move constantly. Your moth with the black mask is a snowberry clearwing which is named for one of its host and the other host plants are dogbane and honey suckle.
Today, I saw a couple of new butterflies for me this season, a flighty Red spotted purple and a fresh Viceroy as well as a Red admiral oviposting on pondside nettle and a question mark mineralizing at water edge.
