Indeed Karen love the name too, well it fly like it has to much coffee.
What a wonderful name! It makes me wonder what happens if he doesn't get his morning cuppa? Presumably he is grouchy all day! :)
Indeed Cindy thanks again for the ID:)
I'm so glad you have an ID! I'm amazed at the amount of species that have a large range.
This is it Cindy is just the same Pyrausta tryalis and well i see it in the garden.
Thanks Cindy i think is a hard one!
It looks A LOT like the Coffee-loving Pyrausta Moth - Pyrausta tyralis but I can't find evidence that it's found in your area.
