what’s this moth?
Hi,
You very kindly identified a moth for me yesterday, and I already have another one! This one looks similar to the vine moth shown in pictures on your site, but the vine moth was described as having a southern distribution, whereas I took this photo in Chetwynd, British Columbia (in June). Also, the markings are a bit different. Any idea what it is?
Thanks!
Melanie

Hi again Melanie,
According to BugGuide, there are 28 species of Tiger Moths in the genus Grammia in North America. We can’t even begin to identify the species, so we hope the genus will do.
