Tuesday morning (July 6) I noticed a male polyphemus moth hanging on one of the moon lights. I got my plastic box/cage and popped it in there, kept it in a cool room until late afternoon. I took it out and set it on a chunk of old wood and set about photographing it, it wasn't quite cool enough, it started to vibrate the wings. I got about 20 shots, most of them slightly out of focus due to the movement of the wings, and then it took off. This is the 3rd live one I've found this year, plus the wings of one found on the ground by the postal stop in Glenburnie.
