A super collection of images Kevin, I am very envious of your good fortune in seeing these charming little insects.I've not seen one this year. They are a real challenge to photograph and you have made the most of it. My favourites are the first and last but they are all very good.
Regards

Mike

Kevin, Is that a bird or a bug??? I have never seen anything like that before. Did you find them in the feild down from your house?

Nice pictures!

Corey, it is a moth...one of the strangest insects in God's creation! But cute!

Mike, they are a challenge INDEED!. There is a larger, clear-winged species that I have been trying to shoot, but it rarely comes around.

Thanks, Pat!
