Early yesterday morning, we spotted this striking moth. It was perched on a low point of one of the deck supports. Cool!
It seems to be a Giant Leopard Moth, but I'm certainly not a moth expert!

striking black and white moth (probably a Giant Leopard Moth) |
It matches the photo in the Bug Guide so I would say it's a Giant Leopard Moth too. Nice find.
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunner. I'm increasingly interested in the arcane world of moths. Yours was a real treat. Rob
