moth?
bugman,
I love your site. hey, I found this moth outside my office today. amazing. I only have video of it at this point, I can send a pic of you’d like, but I have been hunting for what it might be and can’t find a picture online. looks like it might be a type of tiger moth, very pretty. I thought it was dying because it really wasn’t moving too much but then I thought perhaps it was a night insect. I scooped it up and took it home. If it died, I was going to preserve it in a frame. It was a glorious site to see it take flight and fly away just after dark. amazing, me and my kids chased it through the yard. I was very proud of my 10 years old daughter. my son (5) asked why we couldn’t keep it and she told him that is wasn’t ours to keep. almost brought a tear to my eye. anyhow, here’s a great little video of it. Perhaps you know exactly what this one is. thanks
Todd
