New Moth Triumph

While Thom took the last photos I posted, I myself took these. These are definitely the best pictures I've taken so far. I have no idea what kind of moths these are, and they are two different species, even though they look a lot alike.

Thom and I picked up a magnificent and well-behaved beetle on the mall today. We were fascinated by how beautiful and how docile it was. He suggested that we find another one (they're pretty common now) and bring it home as a pet, at least for a little while, to photograph it.

I promise that I'll post something of substance soon. I stumbled across Ally Work this morning, which promises to be very though provoking and helpful for me.
