    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!!!

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

    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!
