Yellow Slant-Line - Tetracis crocallata
This moth was weird. I first saw it resting under my light, but once it sensed me, it flew over and started walking all over me...in my hair, on my face, my shirt, etc. I couldn't get it off. I kept taking it off me and within seconds, it would land on me again!
WS: ~40 mm. Yellow forewing with thick, brown PM line that slants to apex. Small, discal spots on all wings.
Habitat: Rural area
