lepidopteran insects
Both of these beautiful moths were on the kitchen screen door yesterday....I guess the one is an albino??????? Here is what the dictionary says:
any of various families of four-winged, chiefly night-flying lepidopteran insects, similar to the butterflies but generally smaller, less brightly colored, and not having the antennae knobbed. They take beautiful photos !!!!!!

Oh that top one is phenomenally gorgeous Vicci. Congrats on the capture.
I Love those pics. Your photography is awesome. It surprises me when I see the pics you take because they are some I would take too. Aren't moths cool? I don't like the brown plain ones that flutter in my face though,,lol.
Hugs!!!
Well the photography is quite good, I'll give you that...BUT I am a VERY big WIMP! Moths freak me out, as do spiders, snakes, mice...most all bugs. I am fine with dragonflies, lady bugs, butterflies...you know things like that.
eeeek, don't even let me have a bee buzz near me.
I know, I'm a big baby. *blush*
XOXO
Wow!!! Those are the greatest pictures!
Thank you for the infromation on them too!
Lol, that albino moth looks like she is wearing a white feather boa!
Those are amazing photos!
Fascinating and great photos!
Oh wow....these are gorgeous. I have never seen an albino one.
I'm seeking identification on the top one. Lepidoptera is just a classification for moths in general and doesn't go far to describe the actual species you have captured here. I think the bottom one may be what is known as a Tiger Moth or Wooly Yellow Bear (based on what they look like as fuzzy yellow caterpillars before they pupate). Not sure though. The Tiger Moth is almost completely luminously white, with tiny black spots.
