I live in the Natural State, with many lakes, state/national parks, and trails in the surrounding areas, and study it all as a life hobby.

Thanks! I've only found it twice, but both times it was growing on an Oak species in moist warm weather!

Wow, they're actually not that common here according to range maps! That's awesome. And you're welcome, these are so striking and it took forever to learn their name!

Lol! It's actually something to do with the adult moth's wings, how at rest they resemble a laughing face, but I just don't see it!
