Haploa clymene
The Clymene Moth, Haploa clymene, is a Tiger Moth, with simple, yet beautiful patterns. The facial area around the eyes of the moth are a yellowish orange; the same color as the hindwings, as well as the body of the moth. The forewings, when rested together, hiding the hindwings, exhibit a cross-like pattern, half of the cross on each forewing. There is also black marking along the hypotenuse and base of each forewing. There is sometimes, as in this individual, yellowish orange markings are on the corners of the moth's wings.
