Thanks for all your beautiful moths spottings this week Kel! This one is incredibly beautiful. Please kindly fill in the habitat field. This should briefly describe the actual habitat where the spotting was made (forest, backyard, porch light, etc...). Also mention any specimen that was bred. Thank you again!
