I think I camped in the turtle nesting area at WPASCR. I nearly tripped over these girls Saturday morning (they weren't very happy but were in the midst of laying eggs so neither moved)

This is a blinded sphinx moth (I had to look it up) that showed up on my canoe cover the other day. They have a 4" wingspan and are strong fliers, sometimes mistaken for a hummingbird.

A newly emerged clubtail dragonfly (Gomphidae) that climbed onto my Duluth pack to fully expand, dry, and harden its wings on a recent Allagash River trip.
