Here are a few more butterflies and moths I've photographed around the garden recently. The Northern Crescents, the Skippers and the Virginia Ctenuchid Moths have been swarming around the Valerian in the garden constantly for nearly two weeks now. And the Skippers also swarm on the driveway, apparently drinking up some minerals!
A False Crocus Geometer, a species I've never seen before.

Is it drinking minerals of some sort??
