Well, bugs too...;-)
(will add it to groups later)
Here's a picture that shows the trajectories of the bugs - pretty neat. They werent moths, looked more like termites - oversized ant like body, with transparent wings.

Adult giant water bugs capture larger prey species by using their clawed front feet. Chemicals are injected into the body of the prey. The enzymes turn the prey’s insides into liquid, which the giant water bug can suck up. Yummy!

I took this shot with the Tamron 70-300 DI LD Macro lens on a Pentax K100D. 300mm Macro about 2FT away. This bug is approx 3/8" in length. I almost did not see him in the grass.
This bug looks to me like a mountaineer getting ready to climbg a challenging slope - which just happens to be a large lily! The bug needs to be seen large size.
These vivid macro shots showcase a stink bug (Pentatomidae family) in remarkable detail, perfectly blending into the textures and tones of its environment. The first image reveals the intricate speckled pattern on its shield-like back, a natural armor that not only protects but also camouflages. The second photo captures the bug’s underside, highlighting the soft green of its abdomen as it grips a weathered stalk. With antennae extended and its tough exoskeleton on display, this small yet resilient insect demonstrates its quiet dominion over the garden’s vertical terrain.
Bug, genus Nysius (thanks, Tristan!). I think the moth is Clepsis peritana -- it is very pale; but bona fide Clepsis peritana is abundant around here, and the pattern of the markings does match.
The ornamental gardens had an accompanying insectarium. This is just a small handfull of the many bugs on display. Though they did have live specimens, and Fran was particularly taken with the bees, they were far outnumbered by those who were not so fortunate and now lie behind glass, pinned to a board.
