Can anyone ID this moth? Looks deadly! Had trouble shooting it, it was on a wall of a recessed window behind some bushes.

First time to Wako with the D500 and the Tamzooka. Couldn't change the focus point. Checked the A settings and couldn't find anything wrong. Missed a lot of shots trying to find the problem, when the lightbulb came on - check the L on the back. Somewhere, somehow, L was turned on.

Shake, shake, shake - let the dander fly

Honey, I'm home! I brought you a gift.

 

[Marilynne]

Sorry hun, but he took the branch I wanted.

 

[Marilynne]

There were no reports of any missing people at Wako - note the sandal at its side

[Marilynne]

The second of eight gators I saw. Most I've seen at Wako in one day.

 

[Marilynne]

Limited space on the boardwalk, I couldn't get back far enough to get the whole tail

 

[Marilynne]

Brown Water Snake - she was to close to the boardwalk for a better shot. She was sitting on a little one.

[Marilynne]

Tough call between Black or Yellow Crowned Night Heron. I'm going with Yellow since the bill appears to be all black.
