Not the best photo, but nobody else has posted one for the Pack Forest gathering. (I'll trash this one if a better one shows up.)

Hi Patrick, A little image
Hi Patrick,

It's not such a bad image, is it? A little image sharpening would help here quite a bit, I think.

Why am I commenting on moths? Good question -- I got lost in ID Request, I think. :-)

another version posted
It has already been sharpened a bit, but I have posted another version with more aggressive sharpening, though I am not real fond of that look. As I said, I just posted it for the record--I did not see that anyone else had posted one for Pack Forest. (The sheet was waving in the breeze--I believe that is what caused the focus to be off.)

I did mark it "non-representative" so it will not show up in most views.

I got one too, Patrick
I've just been waiting for John, you, Lynette, etc. to post all your moths, and if I had some additionals, I'd put them up. :) Besides your Lophocampa pic is better than mine anyway. Mine was up on a wall and hard to get a pic of. :(
