I think this is a Achemon Sphinx moth. I found it on whatsthatbug.com.
Great web site for common bug ID.
The next one is a type of Swallow Tail Butterfly. We found the celery Caterpillar feed on our dill in the garden. The boys put it in our bug/butterfly net cage and fed it til it turned to a chrysalis and then we let it go in the backyard. Man is it beautiful!

We went on an overnight camping trip with SFTE. It was a lot of fun and we are looking forward to doing it again next year.
They boy’s did the Jr. Ranger program and we had a great time exploring and seeing the dwellings.

The boys came up with an impromtu school project they got their lego power miners and the digital camera and took stop motion photos. I added those to  our windows movie maker and made a movie with them. The boys narated them and here they are enjoy.
