Moth attack!!

Lately we have been having all kinds of funky moths around!!

This first guy is the American Lappet Moth...


He Looks so funky!!


This guy is the Pheosia Rimosa, or the Black Rimmed Prominent Moth



This pretty bark imitator is the Sigmoid Prominent Moth ( This specific one I found at work one morning)


They look so much like bark it is hard it was hard to find them along the shed

  1. I absolutely LOVE moths! There seems to be an infinite variety of the fuzzy little guys --- and some of them are BIG guys too!
