Camouflage and Bloodroot

The Kinder Forest hike had some insect challenges - ticks and blackflies!  But this carpet moth, with excellent camouflage, caught my eye when it flew.  
Sun is shining and once I picked off about 20 dog ticks the hike was more than worth it.  Loads of wildflowers.  And best of all the bloodroot still had a few blossoms.  I thought I might have missed them altogether, staying in FL too long.  
Bloodroot in extra.  Latin name Sanguinaria canadensis.  Before Hurricane Irene the woods in back of my house was a carpet of bloodroot...but alas, change in the form of thick sand and they moved on.
