what’s the name of this moth?
Hi,
I am constantly on your ‘what’s that bug’ website to identify the bugs I find in my yard. Thank you for making all the info available online. Attached is a picture of a moth I cannot find the name for, I am hoping you can help. The location I photographed this moth was East Orlando, Florida in the garden section of the Lowes store.
Sincerely,
Evelyn
