Grape Leaf Skeletonizer Moth
The caterpillars eat grape leaves, but not the veins, thus the name.

Matt, those are two more nice ones. Love the detail in the moth photo.
After a very rainy weekend, I took a walk through a nearby park. There were surprisingly few things to photograph, I guess that's just the nature of a city park.
Here is a very cooperative dragonfly -- I couldn't fit it into the frame with my entire extension tube rig, and he sat still while I modified my lens setup to remove the tubes. I'm including a closeup of the head from one of the photos with the tubes.
Here is a butterfly -- again very cooperative while I rearranged my lens setup.
And just so this challenge is more complete, here is a fly. A Thai fly.

These are great pictures. Kelly normally has quite the bug photos too.
