Date notes: From Western New York

Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: The moths love the raw wood of the garage with a vapor light that comes on at night. In the past I've seen shiny red eggs on the wood, but in the morning the birds probably ate them. I've seen this same kind of moth in 2012 & 2014 I'm honored to see it again
