Jeannie,

I'm skipping the flower shots assuming that you know what those are. 
Some of the insect shots are not large enough or do not show enough 
detail to let anyone nail them down but here's my best shot -- 
hopefully Chris or Derek will be able to add to these...

In order, using the last 2 numbers of the file name as identifieres:

33      Luna moth (I assume you know this one!)
23      caterpillar of Harris's Checkerspot (Chlosyne harrisii)
48      aphid/mealybug/scale insect of some kind (see 41)
50      possibly Ashen Pinion (Lithophane antennata) moth caterpillar 
-- did it have a fairly wide yellow line on the sides?
53      I'm not familiar with this Sphingid moth -- hopefully Derek 
will recognize it.
41      possibly a tortoise scale (Coccidae)
45      impossible to tell (and Wagner shows 45 or more sp. known 
from Basswood)

Best I can do, Jeannie. Were these from Cape George or from Port Hawkesbury?

Phil
