Observation date: August 18, 2018
Submitted by: bobscafe
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: On wall by patio light. Dense smoke from local forest fires did not deter the moths. I was hacking and coughing, they seemed to be fine. This is a new moth for me, I love the way the antenna stand almost straight up. Sat very patiently for pictures.
