I believe I spotted one of these. I have posted it on my spottings. I had never seen one before in my LIFE! Very pretty. How can you tell it's female?

Looks like someone spray painted it! Amazing!
Wow this is amazing! I don't think we have anything quite like this in the NW!
Wow!
Consider adding this to 'Creatures of Pennsylvania'? It's my mission for biodiversity in Pennsylvania, and your moth really surprised me that something like this lives here.
