These will be harder! For starters, that's not a Yellowjacket, and I think the moth is in the genus Catocala but that doesn't narrow it down much.
Great pics Mrs. Ed!

ha. i guess i saved the "best" for last.

Thanks for IDing so that I can add to BugFiles!

YAY! Not a yellow jacket.

I had a several of those moths, maybe 4, one a day that I kept kicking out of the garage. Such a pretty orange when they flew.

It was very small and at dusk (hence the flash) so I really couldn't see too well. Figured it was some BF.
