Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: To be honest I'm not sure what kind of moth that it is. I know it's very beautiful. It had been raining the night before pretty good. But then it cleared up and the sun came out and it was humid. My kids noticed it wanted to show me. And so I went outside saw it on the side of my trailer and took a picture because I thought it was very pretty. It was right next to a luna moth.
