I forgot to post the following adult imperial moth from our black-lighting night this year in the previous post. As you can see, it was a worthwhile night! I photographed this species once before and they do commonly show up on black-lighting occasions, but I never get tired of them showing up! All of these images were taken at Engelmann Natural Area in Franklin County, MO.
This imperial moth caterpillar was found on a night cat hunt in late September.

All Hail, Mothra! Well done, Bill.
Thanks Miguel! And thanks again for the reminder!
Insane detals on these images. Night time macro at it’s finest.
