Thanks J!
Absolutely gorgeous spot, Claire! Congratulations on spotting of the day! A belated happy National Moth Week!
I saw this one in Columbia, SC SO BEAUTIFUL!
Thanks Maria, Mark & Lauren!
Congratulations on your SOTD from North Carolina, Claire! :)
Many congratulations Claire on such a beautiful moth and photograph.
Congrats Claire.
Thanks so much Yasser and everyone. I do love this moth, though not uncommon at this location, it puts a smile on my face. I am always inspired during Moth Week to take a look at these nocturnal wonders.
I also am reminded of and thankful to the young man who really got me looking at & loving moths, Jacob Gorneau.
Claire, this spotting has me craving some cotton candy! Congratulations on Spotting of the Day and thanks for snapping one of our favorite moths. With a few days left for Moth Week 2014, we're looking forward to seeing what else gets submitted. Congrats again!
