Stay-at-Home Backyard Photography: #21: Water Droplets and Crane Fly and Butterfly

November 03, 2020  •  Leave a Comment

Despite the title, the actual common theme in these four photos is the greenery.  These are the leaves (fronds?) of a bed of daylilies. Daylilies provide a great way to collect water droplets and insects.  The leaves are very waxy and water droplets from an overnight rainfall can linger all the next day.  

Daylilies are pretty too, but unfortunately all they have been able to collect in recent years are deer, and all the buds are eaten before they blossom.

This may look like a moth, but note the proboscis for sucking nectar.
Moths do not have proboscuses.
