Debated the move for some time
but they went under the species page for the Eastern Lubber. They are not normally found so far north, but still they are great photos and good documentation of their (temporary?) occurence in your area.

You fed them denim?:-)
I'm sorry, LOL! I am actually quite impressed with your images, attention to detail, and devotion to documenting these. Nice work all the way around.

wing
note the tiny immature wing. Although they have wings, they are never able to fly. Too darn heavy i suppose!!!
