MothsWhat is this type
Good day, I came across this moth (I think) the other morning after building my deck. I’m living in Irma, Alberta and have never come across anything that looked like this, around here before. I noticed it first thing in the morning on my way to work. When I came home that evening I did a quick scan of the area to notice that it only moved to the opposite side of a 4 x 4 post. So to make a long story short, I am intrigued and I haven’t been able to find a picture on the net that looks anything close to this. Thanks

Hi Scott,
This is a Great Tiger Moth or Garden Tiger Moth, Arctia caja. It is found in Europe and Asia in temperate regions, and less frequently in Canada and Northern U.S.
