    I found this guy under a log, and I'm curious what it might be. The closest I've found is a Reddish Speckled Dart, but the blue in the wings just seems too bright?

    He looks interesting but I haven't a clue 'what' he might be. Nice though.

    The only moth I can find, that is in any way similar, is the Northern Dart moth.
