MothsHello Bugman!
We live in Southwestern Louisiana, in the "Prairie" region. A small, green moth was resting on the ceiling of our patio. It was no more than 3/4 of an inch in wingspan, and was resting there for several hours. We could not find an exact match in any of the moths sections, and were wondering what it may be. Also attached are some pretty photos of an Eastern Tent Caterpillar (I think), and a neat close-up of a Carpenter Bee. We love to look at your website, and have spent many hours together exploring it since we came across it. Thanks for your time, and thanks for a great site!
