Okay, so I looked at all my butterfly pictures and they are all from over two years ago. In Georgia we are currently at a 20 year low in our butterfly population. I've been lucky to see 6 or 7 butterflies of any note this year - and I have two butterfly gardens full of the flowers they love.

Soooo... I have a new hobby. I turn on my front porch light and wait for the moths to come on in and take their picture instead. I'm like a Motel 6 for the moths... I leave the light on for them.

So here are some of my more colorful moths - most are small, but they can be quite lovely in coloration and pattern.

This first one is a Chickweed geometer moth.
