Thanks to Lance for sending from Silver Spring:

“The moth was photographed on a garbage bin outside of the Giant in Silver Spring. I only noticed it because someone walking a small dog was pulled to a stop while the dog was investigating the moth. I was curious and stopped as well to see this moth just hanging, looking for some offerings.”

Thanks to Chris for sending: “Spotted a deer in the undeveloped lot at the northeast corner of the old Macmillan Sand Filtration Site/Reservoir District, corner of North Capitol Street and Michigan Ave NW. I hope he can get across those busy streets to someplace more hospitable!”
