Welcome to our Sunday photo recap.
In today’s post we are going to share some of the photos that didn’t make it to the website and will highlight the work of a member from the Instagram community. Enjoy!
From the NaturalistWeekly Instagram Account:
Echinacea
This multi-colored Echinacea plant is growing in our garden. It is one of two Echinacea plants that are doing really well this year. I bet we will have a few more photos of these flowers before the season is over.
Garden Tiger Moth
Friday was the start of National Moth Week and we wanted to start the week with this garden tiger moth. This moth, which is found in North America and Europe, enjoys the cooler climates.
White Moth and White Spider
I actually don’t know what kind of moth this is. I am thinking it might be a Snowy Geometer Moth. I shared a version of this photo in my post The Poetry of Moths. However, when I was looking for a photo for IG, I noticed the spider below the moth. I thought this was just to good to let go.

That white spider looks ominous! I’m not sure the moth is safe!
That is what I was thinking!
I really like these three pictures together, they compliment each other. The best I can describe it is that the dominant color of one picture is a non-dominant color in one of the other pictures. Have a good week!
Hi Melanie, thanks for that reflection on the photos! I wish I could say that was intentional but it wasn’t. I think it was just a happy accident!
They’re all beautiful. What is the spider up to?
Hi Florence, I have no idea!
And they’re both white. Nature has the answer. I only hope it doesn’t gobble the moth.
