Field Notes

Description:

Never sits with wings open. About the size of a large skipper.

Notes:

Do I have two diffrerent species of moths that look much the same but different? This was taken on a different day from the last one I posted and this one has the vertical red in it's "shoulders", along with the creamy color on the bottom of it's top wing.
