Lucky break.  Rumor has it, though, Merrill, that you sleep with your camera
under your pillow, "just in case." :-)

Yes,  great find and very cooperative although it does make me wonder how
you manage to ALWAYS have your camera equipment with you!

Hi, folks.

 

As I was walking in the back door of my office building in downtown Raleigh
this morning I happened to glance over at the window sill and spotted a
colorful bug of some kind.  When I strolled over to investigate I was
surprised and delighted to see Melittia cucurbitae, Squash Vine Borer
(2536).  That it wasn't on my squash plants in my garden was a bonus.  A
very pretty moth!

 

Lep on.
