Oh, yes, it most definitely is. Unfortunately, Project Noah first only lets missions stay within a 300-mile range. After we get about 60-70 participants, I can apply to have the range expanded. I cannot wait until the region is expanded, because this spotting is spectacular!!
No problem. But are you referring to the "Moths of the Northeastern US"? I thought Pennsylvania was part of the Northeastern US.
I'm sorry, but Project Noah requires spottings to be within a 300 mile range. Unfortunately, your spotting does not fall in this range. Stay tuned though, if you stay joined, and have others join as well, our mission's range will expand into your area! I cannot wait until your spotting can fit into our range!!! Thanks for understanding. I will post a comment on this moth when you can re-enter it into the mission.
Looks like an Underwing Moth - maybe the Darling Underwing (Catocala cara). Great shots!
Great shots.
Good job, a friendly moth is probably quite rare!
Thank you! This was a very friendly moth. It even landed on my hand :)
Great macro series - excellent work!
