I was very proud of myself--I bought a little net & caught my first
butterfly! Unfortunately, even though I put it in a little plastic cage
& contemplated it for around ten minutes, I still had no idea what it
was. About 1-1/2 inches across, only saw the top briefly as it
fluttered, it seemed mostly orange with brown edges, underside of top
wing also orange edged w/brown, lower wing mostly brown, both with light
crescent shaped markings upper outer region. A really poor
description--I did take a digital photo if anyone would like to see it.
I'm sure it's something really common, but I couldn't find it!
Also, I recently found something white with a dark gray spot on an oak
tree. It looked like a bird dropping & at first I thought it was a
larva. Then I noticed that it had legs & a pattern on what appeared to
be its curled up wings. Sure enough, it soon fluttered away. When it
was flying, it looked like a moth, but it didn't seem to have antennae.
Again, I took a picture, if anyone would like to see it!
