hi Sam, welcome to JungleDragon!

Awesome moth. Note that I think you accidentally uploaded the same image twice, so I removed one. Posted 5 years ago

  Thank you. Yes I was a little inept at the upload. New to moths, but just got a Skinner moth trap and feeling excited for future finds ???? Posted 5 years ago

    Nice! Usually around the summer, some members participate in Moth Week, where we collectively try to lure and photograph as many as we can. Some of us do mothing all year around. You've come to the right place :) Posted 5 years ago

Another welcome from me too! Not sure if one image suffices to place you in the moth(-)er category, but surely Christine is more apt at recognising these things :o)

  Lol, Arp. I just assumed because she has a moth trap. I don't even have a moth trap, but am intrigued by them. Posted 5 years ago
