Thanks Gerardo!
Mandy, the males of many species of moth have big feathery antennae - the females tend to have much smaller ones.
Wow this is a beautiful one great find Karen:)
That IS funny! How can you tell with moths?
It was a really little guy Mandy!
The funny thing was pretty much all the moths in the ladies restroom appeared to be male!
One centimeter? That's pretty tiny for a lichen moth.
I like the note. Where else would one find a beautiful orange moth, if not in the restrooms? ;)
