A Monarch Butterfly and an Ailanthus Webworm Moth feeding together. I LOVE it when they share!
The colours and patterns are very compatible ... super image Kerri. Isn't fun to meet the faces behind a blog and share experiences. Looking forward to some feedback from your new aquaintance with the NRV Bird Club. Have fun. FAB.
When I saw your title, I thought "she has never managed to capture both together" but you did! Fabulous photo, Kerri. I'm glad you're doing something exciting with your newfound time/freedom, and the bird club will benefit from your expertise too. I follow A. journal- great blog!
Yep I agree with the others: the Ailanthus Webworm.
Very cool bug. And great photo. You got a TwoFer!!
I had never seen one of those bugs before. Then earlier this year I caught one on my Black Eyed Susans. I was excited to see it had a proboscis like a butterfly - My pictures are here: http://composition-life.blogspot.com/2010/08/macro-monday.html

What a great photo! I haven't seen any Ailanthus webworm moths this year, but I am enjoying the photos from other bloggers who have. I love orange. :)
ReplyDeleteAt first I couldn't see the moth as the monarch caught my eye, this is such a wonderful photo.
ReplyDeleteRazor sharp image with beautiful colors.
