Field Notes

Description:

This is only the second time I have seen this species in my area. It was attracted to a light trap I set up for Moth Week. The eye spots are amazing - my photo just doesn't do it justice. Curse my iPhone camera!

Habitat:

Open field near wooded area. Attracted to light trap.

Species ID Suggestions
