Nice photos, everybody! Deb, I especially appreciate the Silver Spotted Skipper Cat . I have a lot of these here, but have never, ever in my life seen a caterpillar that looked like that.

I have 3 photos for today's offerings, and this one is the one I'm most excited about -- a Pearl Crescent, I believe. I hadn't ever noticed them before. This one was only about an 1 1/4 when I first saw it, but then it sort of looked like it was puffing up its wings and sort of streatching them. I think it got to 1 1/2" or even 1 3/4 inches wide whne I snapped this. (Is that even possible?) I was able to get quite close before he got annoyed and flew off.
