Hello Steve! Beautiful find! If you know the identification of your moth, feel free to edit the spotting and update the identification, there's no need to suggest an ID for your own spotting. :-) Thank you! Also, could you add this wonderful moth to my mission, "Moths of the World?" Thank you! http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8841449
