Dark-spotted Palthis

Palthis angulalis

Description:

The unique shape to this moth's wings remind me of a stealth fighter jet. Small ridge above the head to the thorax. Raised area near the front edge of the wings. When at rest, this moth holds its furry front legs in front. Color and pattern as seen in images above.

Habitat:

Suburban yard. Attracted to a blacklight.
