Melipotis indomita
This common moth is 4-5 cm. It uses Mesquite, Prosopis, as a host plant. Despite its striking markings, when on the ground with rocks and leaves it disappears.
Wildlife habitat garden next to a riparian area with mesquite.
Window screen where the lights had been on inside. About 10:00 pm. It left after lights were turned off.
