Moths??????????
Howdy again!
I’m still trying to figure out what this is. I looked thru your site and cannot find it, mainly because I don’t know which catagory it would be in. I’d really like to know what it is. Can you help! By the way, here’s one of my photos of a Gulf Fritillary: I have several, but this one is the best, I think. Thanks

Hi D.,
This interesting moth is known as a White Tipped Black, Melanchroia chephise. It is one of the Inchworm Moths in the family Geometridae. The North American Butterfly Association website has some information on this species. We are also happy to have you open winged view of the Gulf Fritillary to post with the Bug of the Month entry for December.
