Tissue Moth - Triphosa haesitata

The temperature was about 5°c the other night when this Tissue Moth showed up. I love their colors.  It's always a treat to see one.

Montana Six-plume Moth - Alucita montana

At only about 10mm in size, this little moth flutters about quite gracefully. It's only when I photographed it that I saw its real beauty and understand how it got the last part of its name.
I found this one when we were down visiting southern Saskatchewan in September.

Single-lined Emerald - Nemoria unitaria and Wavy-lined Emerald - Synchlora aerata

When we visit the farm I like to get up early and check out the moths that were drawn to the porch light overnight. To my delight one morning in July I found these two beautiful Emeralds.

Spotted Tussock Moth - Lophocampa maculata

Just about everyone has seen these little guys crawling around in late summer. They feed on the leaves of poplar, willow, alder, birch and maple and if you touch them they roll up in a ball. The moth, on the other hand, is a little trickier to find. They come to lights, which is where I found this guy one morning. It was on the wall by the front door.

Powdered Bigwing - Lobophora nivigerata

I love cryptic moths. It's amazing how well they blend in. It was cool and rainy the other day when I found this one in the yard on a poplar tree. It almost seemed sluggish which was a good thing for getting pics.
