This was taken in oct, when we still had some flowers around. I was really trying to get pics of bees, but they weren't cooperating.

Holly,
I believe you have a butterfly photo here, and not a moth. I am not great on butterfly ID's but I think it might be one of the Skippers? Moth antennae are different from butterflies, to me they look feather like, not straight and narrow as showed in your photo. Also if you get the chance again, you may want to try a narrower depth of field (f5.6 for example) which will blur the background more to make the subject stand out more. It should also give you a faster shutter speed, which may give you a sharper image if shooting without support.
