Moths

All of these pictures were taken in our backyard.

Mmmm, Minty!
A tiny little brown moth with its proboscis sticking down the blossom of one of our mint plants. The nectar it's sucking down won't taste minty of course, since the mint flavor comes from the leaves, but the moth seemed very fond of the mint plants and could often be found there. It didn't stay still for long, making it extremely difficult to get any pictures. This one isn't tack sharp but the best of many tries, and I do like the side view instead of the more common view of the wings from above.

Until we meet again my friend.
