[moth-rah] Blacklight Butterfly

[jhimmel at comcast.net]

Hi Steve - I've gotten three species of butterflies to my black light, all
of them hairstreaks - Banded, Striped and Hickory.  I had assumed these were
either very early morning flights, or they had settled in for the night
close to the light and were spurred into action by the illumination.

Nice shot, btw - somewhat surreal.

  This happened May 22 in Westchester county, NY. A Little Wood-Satyr came
  to my black light, and in this picture is even seen on the light.

  species that I've seen do this - Red Admiral being the other.
