Ok - so the camera has a stack of photos that I need to process (frogs, bugs, car show, etc), but here's another one from a couple weeks ago to tide you over. This is a small moth called a Plume Moth. When not flying, these moths roll their wings up instead of folding them together over their backs - this results in this distinctive T-shape in their resting position. Their name comes from the fact that when opened, their wings appear to have multiple individual feathers or plumes, below you can see some of the trailers still extended from one of this moth's plumes...

Technical Data: Canon EOS 7D, Canon MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1-5x Macro, 1/200 sec at f/16. Canon Macro Twin Lite MT-24EX in ETTL mode. ISO 100. RAW processing in Adobe Camera Raw.

Hopefully I can get motivated to start getting all those photos off the camera soon and get them posted up here. There are some definitely cool things in there.
