Following on my post of Confused Eusarca moth, a|k|a *Eusarca confusaria*, this morning. This chap flew by later on. He too is a Confused Eusarca - Large Maple Spanworm Moth (Prochoerodes lineola). Very pretty, very cool! 😊 #Oklahoma #chahtanaturalist #moths #CherokeeNation #photography

Eufaula, OK. Eufaula Lake reservoir spans multiple counties. Fed by three major rivers, it drains over 47,000 square miles. A vital piece of the state’s water system. #SonyRX100VII, #Zeiss 24mm. PS. Lat: 35°16’30”N, Long: -95°31’28”W. #Photography #B&W #Eufaula #Oklahoma #ChahtaNaturalist 📸🗺️📍
