"Polka Dot Wasp Moths are common to tropical climates and have a North American home in the humid southeastern United States, appearing year-round in the warmest areas like Florida. Though they have the appearance - and in some ways, the behavior - of a wasp, the Polka Dot Wasp Moth is just a moth. It does not sting, nor bite. It utilizes mimicry to dissuade potential predators that are familiar with a real wasp's sting. The Polka Dot Wasp Moth is a day-flier. Its black wings and body have a blue translucence. The tip of the abdomen looks like it was dipped in red. Bright, white dots mark the wings. Two large white dots sit at the moth's 'waist' and a line of them run along both sides of the abdomen. Tips of the antennae and back legs are white." -www.insectidentification.org

They actually brought them back a few weeks ago but I was to busy to go look at them. If you can watch on a bigger screen you can see how fast they fly off on the wider shots. I just thought it was pretty cool. 🙂
Last time we only had 6 pallets here and they brought 9 this time. They will be here for the spring and some summer then off to Cali for the almond crops.
This is a little sunrise shot I took of my backyard and lean-to barn. I am an amature photographer mainly of birds and wildlife. I am here to share my photography and I hope you join me in my adventure.
I wonder if this Lil Lady Kestrel is same one that comes back every year. No matter, I still enjoy their visits.
