I took the kids to Pine Haven Saturday night; a rather short notice first-trip-of-season. We were the only people camped down by the river, and we had a very nice time. I have a good stock of moth photographs to work through, and will be posting them one at a time as I get to it. I also played a little with a newly acquired moth trap (bucket, funnel, UV light); I will post more about that when I've figured out the productive workflow.

This moth is a Northern Pine Sphinx (Lapara bombycoides). TL 30mm, found on the exterior of the restroom at Pine Haven - Wentworth NH, 06/06/2015.
