Sunset the other night as Susan and I were settin up moth sheets at the Marine Discovery Center in New Smyrna Beach, Florida. The bright object in the sky is Mercury.

Perhaps our most interesting moth was a Four-spotted Palpitha Moth.in a flowering shrub near one of our set-ups.

During the day we found Echo moth caterpillars on or near Coontie which it feeds on.


Two interesting lichens that I only see in the south are southern strap on the left and cartilage lichen on the right.

Phaeon crescent is another southern species.

Yellow-crowned Night-Heron is always a treat.

While photographing the night-heron I was quickly distracted by two buzzy warbler songs. They were coming from Prairie Warblers.

Sunset, when Susan and I went back to see if we could find any caterpillars that glowed in black-light. No luck, but still a fun day.
