Field Notes

Description:

Looked and behaved like any other moth I've seen. Obviously very quick and fluttery. Landed every now and then.

Habitat:

My backyard... mostly deciduous trees accompanied by a few varieties of evergreens. Lots of open space covered by all grass. A garden on the edge of the property but nowhere too near to where I found him.
