Moths?
I had a great pic of this moth mating but cannot seem to locate it. This was taken in San Luis Obispo, CA / central california. I am used to seeing moths of single color brown, grey but not like this. What is it?

Hi Nancy,
We are sad to not have received the photo of the Painted Arachnis, Arachnis picta, mating. It would have been a lovely addition to our Bug Love page. This is a very common Tiger Moth at our Mt. Washington offices and we often see females laying eggs on our garage. The caterpillars are typical Woolly Bears.
