Thanks for the great tips Mar

Thanks for the great tips Martin, and love seeing your beautiful pictures. I was at Noblewood Park that day looking for dragonflies, so just got a quick picture. As you can tell, I'm just starting to learn about moths. I was afraid to touch it an have it fly away, and it was starting to rain hard. I'll know in the future to get more pictures if possible. I do appreciate your help!!
