I like the design on your moth...a bit more subtle than the butterfly but still interesting.

I love your bees and butterflies so very much! The Gatekeeper is a lovely little butterfly. It is interesting how one year the butterflies will love one plant and than the next year stay away! It is very humid today in my backyard. While bug hunting I was taken away to the tropics. <BR/>Thank you for a fun hunt! It does seem to come quickly every week! I look forward to Sunday Safari.<BR/>SherryQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02473455565144414399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6731821301433751344.post-563092851337613102008-07-27T15:35:00.000+01:002008-07-27T15:35:00.000+01:00Great safari ~ thanks!
