ken_mateikDescription
mother Skunk with nine babies that appeared to be on first outing from den; these three got separated and came right up to me for some CLOSE-up photos ! ! ! ! After a few minutes, she came back for them, and I moved away outta spray range ......... my 87 years young Mom stayed in the car because she thought that I was gonna get sprayed, but she loved the photos ! ! ! Clearly my best Skunk encounter ! ! !

I’m hoping somebody can get me to tribe or even genus on this one! I’m wondering if it’s genus Hemipenthes, perhaps H. celeris?

Danepteryx barbaraeObserver
kuedaDescription
I think this is another issid, and it might be the adult form of the nymphs I saw, as it was right next to them on the same plant. However, this looks a lot like Danepteryx, but the nymphs look like Dictyobia.
