Promethea silkmoth. To find such a thing by chance is a rare and fortunate experience - they only live for a week. More pictures later tonight from the better camera.

A whole lot of cirrus (and some stratus)

No rain. I think the cirrus blowing off the upstream storms killed whatever forcing we were getting. From daytime heating. Alas.

UPDATE (6/27): Meh. This is probably altostratus and mixed stratocumulus and pannus since it came from thunderstorm breakdown. I am not good at identifying clouds without the guides yet.

Why do you crouch on the sidewalk? This is madness! (Do not worry, it flew into a tree with some encouragement.)

It's hard to see, but those are the first substantial daytime heating clouds in half a week, thanks to this blocking high.
