Multiplumiform Wings


When I stopped Dr. Turner to ask him about this beauty, I started by saying, "it looked like a moth but it had wings,," I looked at my hand and spread out my fingers and he gave me Genus and species. She is a specialist on Synphocarpus alba, snow berry, a common native shrub. Never seen a wing like that and I've lived around snow berries for the last couple of decades. Keeping my eyes open, now.

Contrast

HAD to share this! A picture from Dad's trip up the Amazon. He called as he approached the equator and was counting down the minutes of a degree as he approached zero. He's heading south into summer, now. Finally snowing in ernest here.
