Indoor Summertime Nature in New Jersey.

Moth Attracted by Moonlight. After I was done shooting the moon and deer by moonlight, I saw this Moth. I assume that it was attracted by the moonlight.

Backyard Early Summer Nature in New Jersey. Moth or Butterfly?

I saw this insect while sitting out on the deck this evening. It landed at just beyond the minimum focus distance of the lens. Two images with slightly different depth of field (f/4, 1/125 sec) and (f/5.6, 1/60 sec). Both shot “mirror up” with 30 sec delay to allow the lens to stabilize.
