My mower uncovered this #moth tonight in the long grass, which an internet search indicates that it is probably a male fox moth (Macrothylacia rubi). I thought I might have injured it, as it was vibrating its wings like there was no tomorrow. Turns out, it might well have been warming up and preparing to take flight. Learned something new again.

One of the smaller butterflies in our garden, a #GreenHairstreak, currently feasting on the nectar of one of our Mexican orange plants which is in flower. It always rests with its wings closed, so the bright green parts are pretty much the only thing people remember about it. That, and the white oval around its eye.
