A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Grammia virgo
A larger tiger moth that has black forewings with cream colored stripes along the veins. Red hind-wing with black spots. Abdomen is red with black spots.
Spotted on a sheet hanging on my porch with black lights and halogens shining on it at night to attract moths. We live in a gated lake community surrounded by rural agricultural land, and some wooded areas. National Moth Week 2017.
We have a clover and lettuce garden next to the porch this year, and it has really drawn these in.
