Nice snaps in these trying times, Les ... good moth colors.

Can't remember the name of either critter ... anybody?

Good to have you back.

Something is wrong with your uploads--the links produce a blank screen with a tiny symbol in the middle, and the photos show up only as small thumbnails. I wonder if it is because of the format in which they are stored. (The suffix is gif, not jpg.) I simply link from another site, so I am no expert on this, but there have been numerous threads about how to post now that TinyPic is gone. How did you post these?

Ta! I was thinking "peacock" but it looked like a moth to me, duh. We have shield bugs here too:
