A few yellow things for Mellow Yellow Monday
In the top photo we have a glimpse of the setting sun's rays at the end of a beautiful day.
I caught this Swallowtail butterfly just as it was pushing off from having been feeding on this lilac blossom. Below is a Rosy Maple Moth![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvDQCdDO1PExD73aAvoPFgtNWAZsRpicJuPtTAUB0mOqdhxbygLi12mRIWyTmXYkh1IPUPq10GbhayE9zjxJNih8w5NjktUkeJInPCMEI3hRxVQrwwnjiI5K8o2cIpTZVgAjoF/s320/rosy+maple+moth+four.JPG)

which I found clinging on my house unnder our outdoor light by our doorstep yesterday morning. I found 12 of them!. I was surprised at finding so msny at the one location. We have a few silver Maple trees and apparently that is their vegetation of choice. The soft mellow yellon on this mot'h's head and under body make it a very attractive creature! as you can see from the pictures below. Having found 12 of them at my house I was not really surprised to find over 100 clinging on the public building across the street from our house. I have seen many at this location before. I guess its their season!

I just returned from a walk in O'Dell Park and spotted beautiful Swallowtail on a lilac there.... and of course no camera today.... so glad you captured the same configuration!
Wow,that Moth is very pretty. I don't think I have ever seen one of these.Thanks for sharing this.
Blessings,Ruth
Those moths are so pretty and I've never even seen one before! What a lot on that building.
