Hi,
Can you tell me what this bug is? I have looked at all the moth pages on your site and couldn’t id it. I assume it is a moth, but have never seen it before. I found it on my screen door in Columbia, SC. Thanks,
Sarah

Hi Sarah,
This detailed beauty is known as a Heiroglyphic Moth, Diphthera festiva. There are some wonderful images on the Moth Photographers Group website.
