Clip Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Little Yellow from Sunday. It may only be February but here in Florida that is the beginning of spring for some of it's inhabitants. We saw saw several butterflies out and about on Sunday in Brevard County, FL., mostly Southern Whites. The Southern Whites forgot their southern manors and would land for photos. The Little Yellow did though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other pics on iNat show it as well. I forgot how much I enjoyed moths. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipperatl Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Might be my favorite moth. Giant Leopard Moth 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipperatl Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 A couple new moths (according to iNat), just waiting on iNat confirmation but pretty confident. Oak Beauty Leconte's Haploa Moth (probably same LeConte as the Sparrow and Thrasher are named after) I think this is a new Odonata Northern Emerald Spreadwing 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chipperatl Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 (edited) A moth I've been wanting to see for a while...Hologram Moth. Wish I'd have gotten better pics. My soft box is too soft for my zoom lens to be on it. I'm going to have to break down and get a macro lens at some point. Kit lens are my only other ones, and those don't quite cut it either. Another new one Yellow-fringed Dolichomia Moth I think this is a Little Glassywing Not a new one, but a new angle. Nice Painted Bunting impression on the body of this Oak Leafroller Moth Edited June 25 by chipperatl 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you keep a moth list? Mine's at 318 species so far. Here's my Hologram Moth Edited June 25 by The Bird Nuts 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just have whatever iNaturalist keeps for me. I know I have a ton that I ether haven't uploaded, or don't have ID's on. Hard to try to get them separated out from the Butterflies. Including Butterflies it is 289 confirmed, of 383 uploaded. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I finally have a list pulled from iNat, and Butterflies separated and shows the following. Not sure how to separate out the confirmed, and not confirmed. Moths - 322 Butterfly - 33 Odonata - 16 Mammals - 28 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
