The Mulberry Wing
Earlier this year, I provided the staff of Ward Pound Ridge Reservation with a list of moths that I've photographed there. It included over 200 species -- without ever having been there at night. Finally, on May 28 2005, I made it to the reservation at night. This moth takes the honor of being the first one that I've photographed in prime time. It's an Abbot's Sphinx (Sphecodina abbottii).
