It’s Moth Face Friday!

This is a Spilosoma, but it’s hard to say which species it could be. What’s not hard to say is how cute it is.

Moth Face Friday!

This Zale moth showed up to my porch light over the last week. I also held the first public moth night of the year this week and found quite a few photogenic individuals, so I’m excited to share those soon.
