Great Leopard Moth
Hypercompe scribonia

Observation date: June 18, 2022
Submitted by: Ehoma23
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Broad daylight and sunny out. This moth is on my step going up to my door. No plants are directly near this specific area. There is not a plant next to the moth and there isn’t any greenery directly next to this beautiful creature. Below on the bottom of the stairs there is grass, a giant pine tree, several plants however, I cannot tell you what they are. And a little farther away there is a pond/lake maybe you would call it? There is another one of these beautiful species next to my front door as well!
