Field Notes

Notes:

came into the house at night either attracted towards light or else trying to hide from bats hunting for insects outside. Outer wings were dark greenish with silvery borders, but the inside wings had beautiful color patterns. Tried to capture that. :)

Very beautiful! I wish you wouldn't write on top of the insect, it distracts from it's beauty and covers details :(
Very nice. Beautiful moth!
Wow, beautiful! Never seen one with this much green : )
