Lightning and a Moth

Some of the storms in early June had such a high density of lightning strikes that it turned out to be easy enough to catch a couple of strikes. My location left a lot to be desired, and I kind lacked the courage (or funds) to subject myself and the camera to the worst of the storm. Here's what I got:





Towards the latter part of June, Steph saw this moth and took some photos of it. Note the fur all over it, and the fern like antennae. Does anyone know kind of moth it is?
