MothsWhat is this?
I work in Round Rock Texas, just outside of Austin. This bug was hanging out on this 2"x 2" piece of steel square tubing. It tdidn’t mind having its picture taken either. Thanks

Hi Mike,
This unusual moth is the Large Tolype, Tolype velleda. You did not indicate when the photo was taken. Tolypes fly in the autumn, and January is very late in the season. Perhaps this is another indication of global warming.
