3 pictures in notes above! :)

I went out to take pictures of milkweed blossoms today and also to see if I might find some different eggs on the leaves. Though I didn't find another kind of egg, look what I found resting under some milkweed blossoms, and right next to many stems that were completely covered in eggs!! I think it's a pretty safe bet that I found out what these eggs will turn into! (Still I won't know for sure until the eggs that I have hatch--they are exactly the same as these ones)

Thanks very much to Art (Leapfrog) for positively identifying this beautiful lady as a Clio Tiger Moth (Ectypia clio)! ! If you would like to know more about this moth, here is a page to look at!: Pacific Northwest Moths: Clio Tiger Moth

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (2 October 1869 – 30 January 1948), commonly known as Mahatma Gandhi, was the preeminent leader of Indian nationalism in British-ruled India. Employing non-violent civil disobedience, Gandhi led India to independence and inspired movements for non-violence, civil rights and freedom across the world. Wikipedia: Mahatma Gandhi

First, thank-you for the advance warning about the spider (shudder) shots. I didn't know you were going to name it or I could have provided some choice names LOL. This is a gorgeous moth...never seen one like this before. And you can never go wrong with quoting Gandhi.
