I just joined seems like a nice place!
I was hoping someone could tell me what type moth this is, he is trapped in my screen porch and I have never seen another one like him.
THANKS!!!

It is a pretty thing.

What an unusual insect your moth is Yobenny. It's great to see what creatures others have around.

I have a resident garden spider inside my screen porch that I feed regularly, This moth is not normal fare at least to me.
But I'm sure Dabnie doesn't much care!
