Last night a rather tattered Luna Moth came to my lights.
A Carrion beetle (Nicrophorus orbicollis) was out looking for a meal. These beetles bury small dead mammals as food for their offspring.
A fresh new Fritillary, probably one known as Aphrodite, posed nicely as its wings hardened.
And Three-lined Potato beetles dined on Bittersweet Nightshade, a potato relative.
