I would love to see them more often. I found one and a friend of mine who isn't on projectnoah(yet) found an even nicer one
I have one of these tattooed on my ankle. Another name for them is the Garden Tiger Moth :3
and misspelled as well! I'll edit. Am having trouble uploading today for some reason. I have another photo I"d like to put up
Love the pattern! Karen you forgot to capitalize the genus.
