Unknown Moth I thought this moth would be super easy to identify because of the big, brown frown on its dorsal surface. But, I haven't been able to identify it yet. If it is a new species, then I propose the common name "Swedish Chef", scientific name "Muppeta puppetus" after the Swedish Chef from the muppets, who I think this moth eerily resembles.
