Hi Gilma, Would you mind deleting Sosxetra grata from the Common name box. And deleting Walker's moth from the scientific name box? Thanks

This is I think my best spotting for National Moth Week...We are having torrential rains and Moth do not like that...so I was lucky this one came to my door...
