Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Found this little friend in our house today. Thought he looked very regal. Named him Chauncey. Tried to find out what type of moth/butterfly he (or, she, quite honestly) was, but found the databases a tad overwhelming. We are, after all, just on our way to brunch. We brought Chauncey outside and let him/her flutter away.
