What’s this bug?
This is such a cool Endeavour!
My wife and were walking the other day and spotted this unusual moth amongst some succulent plants growing along the road. This is in Northeastern NY (Lake Peekskill, Putnam Valley NY to be specific). I have scoured the Internet and all our books and really cannot find anything that even closely resembles this. Please let us know if you know what it is. Thanks, and keep up the good work!

So sorry to bother you. Searched your site and deduced that it must be the Eight Spotted Forrester I didn’t recognize it initially with the wings outstretched. Thanks!

Hi Patrick,
We are thrilled that you found the Eight Spotted Forrester on our site yourself. We still want to post your photo as we do not have many images of this lovely little moth.
