Grasses can be so lovely but so hard to get a nice shot of, the light was nice on this one.

You decide... It was so dark in the woods where this was the camera just couldn't deal with it, or I should say I couldn't without a tripod, so I went mono, but you get the idea. Reminds me of the Welsh Dragon face side on...lol

A very helpful moth decided to lay her eggs on our egg carton, makes sense to me.

If you look closely at her abdomen you can see nothing but eggs. Update: the first few of the Vapourer Moths emerge, this being the first female. The females of this species are wingless as you can see, they generally release pheromones and wait for a feather antennaed male to show up and mate, then lay their eggs very near where they pupated and then die. They only live a few days usually.
