Submitted by: Bones_and_tomes
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: The moth was very calm, it crawled onto my finger with little prompting and hung out with me for a half hour with no problems. When it wanted to fly away, it started flapping it's wings for a brief period before taking off. It was in the low-60s in terms of weather with a nice breeze.
