I posted my Trailcam problem to my Facebook group. Janet Pesaturo wrote the Camera Trapping Guide. Her husband, Bob Zak, had some answers for me! Hooray for people who share their knowledge.
I had 31 folders of photos: 1000 x 30 + 140 = 31,140 photos on the trailcam. It was hilarious. Some were quite pink. If you look at the temperature reading, it was 42 ℃. There are a number of causes. If it is an IR filter problem you can whack it, and it might reconnect the wire. I don't think that's what it was, but I tried it.
The photos I scavenged Tuesday didn't have any of that. And it didn't do that run on triggering, which results in untriggered photos. We shall see what happens tomorrow. I didn't get too many bug bites fetching the memory card. I am happy with that.

My Hops vine has been decimated by a caterpillar infestation. iPhoto thinks Armyworm, but who knows.

This Imperial Moth landed on the fence, likely before dawn, many years ago.
This butterfly was looking for a place to lay eggs. She was sitting on the railing.
I won't interfere with nature. The Eastern Question Mark butterfly likes this plant. The Gray Tree frogs like this plant, as well. I've found lots of other critters in it.

A hummingbird on the flowers.
My lilies are thriving, thanks to the deer fence!
Do you remember my red-eyed vireo nest? This was July 1st. I tried to avoid the nest so as not to give momma bird a heart attack.

I checked July 9th, all gone! I hope they do well, lovely little bug eaters.
I sure miss these little critters in winter!

Did your rescue squirrel just go away, or is it hanging around?
What incredible photos of your bird. Yes, you will miss them.
How wonderful to see the Hummingbird.
Those moths are so pretty. Love the birds too.
We always have many problems for our puzzler to solve.
Love the Imperial Moth, hummingbird and the Vireo.
Great sightings and photos.
Take care, have a great day and a happy weekend!
I think he is hanging around, A/C! I spot a squirrel on the ground near the box from time-to-time. Hard to say, though! He won't wear a sign saying #75!
Your Lilies look wonderful! Thank goodness the deer aren't eating them.
I would have loved seeing an Imperial Moth. Wow.
The red eye Vireo is not one I've ever seen close up. How lucky you are!
