Another reason I need a macro lens.  Look at this little one.  You can barely see it but it’s still cute.  Saw another one the other day but it got away.

Various photos of the species Hypena scabra, the “green cloverworm” taken in my yard over the past couple weeks. The intraspecific diversity is really incredible in these guys! Some of the most variable and fun moths in my lawn, and they come to lights sometimes too! Always a joy to find one of these.
