Unidentified moth/butterfly.

I went for a walk along the canal today. Didn't see the heron or anything else really interesting, but there were plenty of insects crawling around in the foliage. Here's another one.

The Tamron 18-270 focuses closely enough that Tamron puts "macro" in its name. By any serious photographer's definition, I don't think it qualifies as a true macro; nevertheless, this is closer than I've ever been able to shoot small subjects before, so until I'm able to afford all the lenses I wish I could buy, this will have to do.
