Confused Dart moth, aka, Tricose Dart (Feltia tricosa) This moth landed in my garden and sat on the ground long enough for me to grab my camera and get this photo before he flew away. I am hoping to see him again so that I can get a better shot of him, maybe with outspread wings. Feltia tricosa,Geotagged,Summer,United States Click/tap to enlarge Species introCountry intro
