Great shot, Mike
Looks like it's wearing an open coat with the zipper at the top :D

Huck Sphinx
I was excited to see it. I'd like to see how your shot turned out so I can compare your flash setup to mine...I'm contemplating springing for one.

We probably have several of the same moths photographed. I don't mind frassing mine if yours are better; we should just make sure we get one of everything up there so I can generate species reports for UT and the park.

will do
I'll have everything dumped to my Flickr site in a week, or maybe longer--very busy right now. (One can bulk upload to Flickr, not possible with BugGuide.) I did upload one treehopper, because I think it is new for the guide:


It is going to take me some time to get ID's on all the moths.
Our shots of the Huckleberry are comparable--you should definitely keep yours here--I did not want to monopolize the species!
