A Moth Mystery
Mimi Sabatino, a friend of this blog, passed along this photo and wondered what kind of moth it is.
I think I have photographed one at High Mountain, camouflaged on a tree, and I have a general idea of what it is.
Do you?
(And did I mention that our 5th Annual Moth Night is Sunday, July 31, at the Fell House, featuring S'Moths and S'Mores?)
