Field Notes

Notes:

I was so excited when this beauty flew out of the bushes in my garden this morning. "Hooray, a moth!" I thought. "Just in time for Moth Week!" (I haven't had much luck finding moths this week, it's not a great time of year for them here.) Alas, it was a beautiful butterfly instead!
