We came from here:
The thread "May 2015 Butterflies, Moths & Larva" in
Gardening for Butterflies, Birds and Bees forum
I forgot it was June 1 until I saw the new bird thread! So I guess I'd better start a new butterfly thread! Since we have moths in our title, but don't often feature them, I'm making the thumbnail my Tersa Sphinx Moth who is preparing to molt (again).
And honestly, I don't have any other pictures! I went to my psychiatrist today and his willow trees look much better (Cottonwood beetles were a real problem last time) but I still didn't see any Viceroys. I could only check part of the tree since the water is getting kind of high and I was wearing my good sneakers.
Here's a few more shots of the Tersa. You can really see those eyespots. Also, notice how the head capsule has separated; that's how I know he's going to molt. I think these guys are almost as cute as Spicebush cats, although the finished product isn't quite as pretty.
