A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Project Noah Nature School
Catocala vidua
about 1.5"
urban, forest, city edge
I spotted this under the awing above my front door in the afternoon. I stood on a stool to get its photo and then I rotated them for a better view. I haven't seen a moth this large around my house in a while. The last 3 photos are with the flash.

Thanks Amber, you're right again!
Looks more like a widow underwing
