This is what happens when you have your macro lens set for good depth of field so even though it's bright it was only on a shutter speed of 1/320 and a freakin' HUMMINGBIRD CLEARWING comes by! So fast! Zip zip and gone....but the first one I've seen here so I'm really excited! Yes the exposure is off, I was take photos on the flowers in the shade and it picked one in the sun so yeah I could have whacked up the shutter speed if I had more than a split second to focus and go before it left...So an overexposed purple coneflower and a half blurred black white orange and olive green moth.

A day flying moth! "Yellow Collared Scape Moth" whatever the heck that means. What's a scape? I don't know. Yellow? Goldenrod is yellow but it seems like it's an orange collar to me. Someone messed up with this name. Ah well. Really enjoying the goldenrod though!

Buckeye butterflies with their cheery purple and orange dots and splots on my purple coneflowers. There were actually *five* all kinda fighting for the best spots and they kept having aerial fights! Or...maybe fending off sexual advances too. Hard to tell sometimes, haha!

In his original manuscript for this work, Bruce extended an invitation to readers to contact him about their own fish discoveries, offering to help confirm their identifications and to provide supplemental information.

One of Bruce's great pleasures in the wake of the publication of his self-published Butterfly Blocks: The Butterflies of West Mount Airy (2002-2004) had been a similar email correspondence with his readers. In addition to fish and butterflies, Bruce's love of nature also encompassed sea shells, birds, reptiles, and mammals.
