That's a walking stick. Apparently they aren't quite harmless as they can be pests to oaks and hardwoods. Who knew. I guess they eat the leaves and the tree can die. State parks have problems with them from time to time.

The Sphinx moth is just beautiful. It's about as big as a hummingbird and just as flittery. I got 3 or 4 pics out of about 50 that were in focus. Not very common in this region. They emigrate south every year. They have a super long proboscis for nectar. It was very interested in the petunias.

Nice images. I use a GX1 as my "carry around" camera. You probably already have it, but I really appreciate the LVF2 EVF for it. It does stick up on top but is really handy for quick work outdoors.

I love the flexibility of a small body that takes every lens I own!

But you're getting some very good images with yours.
