… also known as the Orange Mint moth, because the larvae feed on plants in the mint family. This tiny moth, maybe 1/3" at its widest, was on some tansy by my garden.
Then I had to clean up some tree limbs knocked down during our latest storm. This dragonfly kept hanging around on the dead limbs:
The insect ID app I was using (PictureInsect) said this was a Ruddy Darter, but when I look those up on the internet, I'm told they live in England, not Indiana. Maybe it's an Autumn Meadowhawk?
Anyway … then the Humane Society of Hobart asked me to take a new foster:
He just had a leg amputated, and he will be recovering from surgery at my house for another 10 days. He's all by himself in the foster room, so I have to spend time with him. And time I spend with Charles is time I can't spend with Jeremiah.

From orange blooms and a moth to a sweet (hopefully!) and needy orange kitty! Good luck with the poor little guy.
Charles is a sweetie who loves everybody! He even tolerates dogs. He's coping well with the loss of his leg ... just needs a little time to perfect his three-legged technique.
