Moth Identification Help
Hello, I found your site tonight after seeing an unusual (what I assume to be a moth) bug that sparked my interest and I hope you can help me since my research turned up nothing and I am still curious. It was found outside under my porch light at about 11pm in Alpharetta, Ga. Thanks,
Jon

Hi Jon,
This is a Royal Walnut Moth or Regal Moth. Perhaps, come September, you will be lucky enough to see its amazing caterpillar, the Hickory Horned Devil.
