Thank you Leuba Ridgway, Plants and trees are amazing but it takes a lot of (enjoyable) time...

Leuba Ridgway

Thank you for understanding Gilma and thank you for sharing all these beauties with us.. I know it sounds repetitive but each spotting should stand on its own. You have a lovely place and the plants there must be equally amazing - lucky!

Thank you for the suggestion Leuba Ridgway, it will always be the same because all of them are in my Garden and Property. But I will described the habitat.

Gilma, All your moths are superb and the spottings would be great if you add just a line about their habitat - the kind of surrounds you found them in. Thanks.
