Beautiful Clymene moth?
Hello fellow insect lovers,
I just wanted to start by saying that your site has really educated my family on the types of insects we have outside our home. I understand your "swamped", but now I have a need to know exactly what im looking at, because of you guys. So…what kind of moth is this? Some type of Clymene? Were up in Burlington Vermont.
Thanks
Bern

haploa Tiger Moth, genus Haploa

Hi Bern,
We don’t know what species this is, but it is definitely a Tiger Moth in the genus Haploa, a close relative of the Clymene Moth, but not Haploa clymene.
