I'm going to use this thread as a photo dump for the species I have seen in 2015. I think I'm at 63 or 64, right at the mid-year mark; these are from four states (MA, NH, PA and FL). I might switch out some photos for another, if I find one I like better (this happened a few times while I was composing this thread in Word).
I'm going to keep my own comments minimal on the photos, in order to initiate some discussion.
Enjoy!
