Moth Mystery Answered

It's an aptly named Leopard Moth, photographed in my backyard next to the CF and across the street from the Fell House — site of Wednesday Night's Moth Ball.

Deedee Burnside not only answered correctly, but she gave us the full monte — “Zeuzera pyrina – Wood Leopard Moth. (Thanks, Deedee!)

I would like to enter a moth request for the Moth Ball tomorrow: I want to see a Cecropia Moth and a Pandorus Sphinx. 😉
