Date notes: Taken today around 6:30pm
Submitted by: TaittheGreat
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Observed moth late afternoon on outside wall of house. Looked as though he was still coming out of his chrysalis and had not finished “developing” (lack of better words) and or waiting until dark. I believe he formed chrysalis in my mulch/leaf litter. Closest plants/trees are azaleas and oak.
