While it was found in the house, it was our fault that it was inside. You see, Sam and Rosie like to play [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s another of the little orange skippers that are common around here in the early summer (this one was photographed on June 16, 2011). It has some white mottling on its underwings, which is a bit different from the nearly pure orange skipper that was posted in the past. It looks like one of the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This white moth came to our porch light on July 4, 2011. Its wings look a bit ratty at the edges, so this was probably near the end of its life. Which suggests that the main flight period for this species was probably earlier, maybe most of the month of June. After a bit of [...]]]></description>

It was reasonably good-sized (about two centimeters long), but almost utterly lacking in anything I can use as identifying features. Here it is on Sam&#8217;s fingers, with its wings a bit spread: Its most [...]]]></description>

They looked big enough to be ready to pupate, so we tried rearing them in a jar.

The background in these photos is a kleenex, by the way. It liked to pose with its head end elevated and its front legs tucked in. [...]]]></description>

Like most butterflies, it wasn&#8217;t very cooperative about showing the tops of its wings, but I did manage to snap one shot with the wings open. This pose is more typical, with the wings folded up over its back. Like this, [...]]]></description>
