mystery moth
Hi again:
I looked through all of the moth photos and didn’t see one like this on your website. It was resting on a leaf in our yard in central North Carolina (Piedmont region) this morning. It wasn’t very big – maybe 3 inches across with its wings spread. Can you help me identify it? As always, thanks.

Hi Sandy,
The Common Buckeye, Jononia coenia, is a butterfly, not a moth.
