Moth Party! Part III: Moths on Black

At the Party, but Not a Moth

Why I Call It "Moth Party"

 Because it is like this, only more so.

Swallows, or Do I Mean Swifts?, at the Shops

Parents; I could hear the babies nearby. But the Shops are too hoity to let them build nests right under those awnings, I think.

Allergies. He's staying in today to sleep & hydrate. Poor Hammie!

Reflective Moth

I am fascinated by these moths which have reflective spots on their wings (the spots that in this photo appear white). I see them in the house frequently. On Saturday evening on the patio, I realized that they were the moths swarming the Jerusalem sage. I've never seen this reflective quality on other moths. Some of their other parts are also very shiny (see the abdomen in that last photo).
