The Betrothed
Catocala innubens

Observation date: August 10, 2013
Submitted by: Sheryl Johnson
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Disturbed from hiding place on the deck in the morning after lights had been on for some time the previous night. About 38 mm long. Did not get a photo of underwing which had two pinkish-red (or salmon-colored) and two black bands. Fringe was described to me as possibly "creamy" but we cannot be sure. Second photo looks hazy due to sun glare. Photos have been rotated since moth landed head-down on the flower box.
