Thanks again to Shawnda for providing this week's excellent series of photos. We'll just call Shawnda the "Bug Lady of Corralitas Drive." Black Witch Moths often visit Shawnda, since they thrive in the acacia trees on the 2 Freeway. Earlier this year, Shawnda shared her photos of a White Lined Sphinx Moth.
