Another Ctenucha for you
This lovely moth was flying about my yard in Harbor (Brookings) Oregon today. I caught it by hand and placed it in a jar and then in the fridge to cool off. When it was ‘cool’, I took it outside and posed it on it’s food plant, course grasses and took it’s picture. This is one colorful moth!

Crafty bit of nature photography strategy Sheila. Your specimen appears to be Ctenucha multifaria, the California Ctenucha.
