These moths inhabit chalk and limestone grassland, woodland, marshland and gardens

Hiding deep in the shadows the tiny Mint moth (Pyrausta aurata) can be seen flying and feeding in the daytime. April-June and second generation July -mid September.

we were enjoying the evening sun and some downtime in one of our favourite outdoor restaurants ... of course with some refreshing beverage (I do love fresh mint leaves)

I was playing around here with the manual vintage Meyer-Optik Görlitz Oreston that's kind of screwed permanently onto my old Pentax K-70 body these days : )))

I found this cool little Weevil in my Maryland neighborhood. I've never seen one with this pretty mint green coloration before.

Pilot Knob State Park - Iowa

I was very surprised how green certain areas were near the pond. A beautiful combination of sky, autumn colors and green . . . yet!

It's all changing so fast now, and the strong northwest winds haven't helped! Sigh . . .
