An ongoing album of interesting insects from the province of New Brunswick, and elsewhere, as well as anything that catches my eye.

The case of the disappearing moth
This Large Yellow Underwing (Noctua pronoba) appeared on the wall under my porch light. I grabbed it and, while I held it on my hand, it disappeared before my eyes in a ghostly transformation! Pictures don't lie, do they? Now you can say you've seen a picture of a ghost moth!
I became passionate about insects when I was photographing insects on Christmas trees for a Canadian Forest Service publication Pests and Diseases of Balsam Fir Christmas Trees (not yet published).
My current project is a history of the TBM Avenger spray aircraft used in New Brunswick from the late 1960s to the 1990s, for Forest Protection Limited.
