I just found out from an Englishman (who wants to eat my moth - LOL) because it looks like Battenburg Cake. HA! It is really beautiful!
Bella contaminación de colores pasteles
What a mod moth!
That's a cool moth...I never see cool moths. Great photos
lovely , wanna see one too!
I meant to put a note. This is the 3rd. I found this one after another one on the deck. It was much smaller and duller and difficult to photograph. I am so excited!
Now you're being greedy Carol! This is your second spotting of this beautiful moth & I've not seen one yet! :)
