After visiting the Great Insect Fair, the mothman and I went to the Scotia Barrens to look for buck moths (Hemileuca maia). We weren't too hopeful, as it's a bit early for buck moths to be flying and we haven't had much cool weather. However, it turned out to a pretty good day after all! We saw at least 60 of them flying and I got a few decent pics.
Wow, that's a cool looking moth!
@Insectra The look a little awkward hanging on that stem. I was giving them the benefit of the doubt.

Posted by ZsterMy first Monarch since moving here! I started a butterfly garden two years ago, specifically targeting monarchs and swallowtails.

Posted by InsectraA cute grey treefrog (Hyla versicolor) that I found in my birch tree, this afternoon. His camouflage was great and I only discovered him when I heard him calling.

Posted by InsectraSpring amphibian migration in Pennsylvania is well under way! Most of these are Jefferson's salamanders, one of our earliest moving amphibians and a species of special concern in Pennsylvania.
