Oh, tiger moth - nice! I have been working on my Lepidoptera for a while always love seeing those and sphinx moths are so cool. I'm up to six species of sphinx moths, the tessa sphinx is my favorite:

Also that cottonwood dagger - whoah! I checked out your lifelist, you've found a lot of really interesting insect species, I'm in Austin and the differences are pretty dramatic and quite interesting. You can see my insect life list here: https://www.inaturalist.org/lifelists/steven_bach?view=tree&...

That moth is really neat! The cottonwood dagger was what led me to inaturalist as I had no idea what it was. Been posting stuff since and learned a lot.

What camera do you use? This one is so nicely zoomed https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/132443637

Almost looks like an image from an electron microscope the way the grass stands up.

Just an iphone, grass isn't real though.
