Great Leopard Moth
Hypercompe scribonia

Observation date: September 11, 2017
Submitted by: CelestiHel
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: It was drowsily crawling on my living room ceiling, a little caught up in the cobwebs. Only the caterpillar knows how it got in here, but my guess is through the basement. The dominant plants ringing the yard right now are honeysuckle, jewelweed, and black locust.
