Great Leopard Moth
Hypercompe scribonia

Observation date: April 20, 2022
Date notes: I saw the cocoon first under my porch and today I saw the moth next to it.. I Identified it by looking online but it is a moth that I’ve never seen in this area before. Its a Great leopard moth according to Google. It doesn’t look like it’s native to this area. Any more information would be greatly appreciated!!
