White underwing moth (Catocala relicta), #8803

This is a very large underwing moth (Noctuidae Family), measuring between 50-70mm. According to what I read, these moths are fairly common at this time of year and on until the weather gets cold. They are an impressive size! There were two on the wall of the Interpretive Centre, and a bit earlier, one flew off looking like a large butterfly!
