A brush-footed butterfly, American snout. Scientific name: “Libytheana carinenta.”
This guy joined me during my water break at 1:59 p.m. (according to the camera's time stamp.) Here s/he's on the "button" of an oar. I photographed it on my hand and then my water bottle.

@rhoing This should've made the PP, if not for comp and focus alone! See, I don't get it. My crappy series shot made the PP today and it doesn't have but just a few favs and hardly any comments.

@marlboromaam Don’t understand the “secret sauce” of PP selection. Years ago I tried playing The PP Game with more consciously-selected followers. To no effect.

So I’ve stayed on 365 mostly for me and mostly for doing a family calendar at the end of the year, though getting close to being caught up — if four weeks behind is “close” — has enthused me a bit.
