An after-work trip, still pretty warm out. We went to one of our favorite - and closest - towpath places, Lock 4 Park. It was very pretty as always, and I photographed an insect I have seen before, but was never able to identify. I decided to think "outside the box" to identify what I thought looked like a type of beetle. As soon as I opened my insect guide to "moths," there it was, the Ailanthus Webworm Moth. Sounds like a computer virus, right? It's actually a very pretty insect with an orange body and what appears to be a black-and-white flower design. I'm just happy I finally put a name to this interesting-looking creature!
