Great tiger moth (Arctia caja), #8166

Byrne Big Creek Nature Preserve

Saw this spectacular large tiger moth last night, in fact, saw two of them. It was a long drive out of the city to reach the site and set up the moth lights, but it was well worth it, even though we didn't get home until after 3 a.m. Lots of moths, and a chorus of coyotes, as well as a barred owl calling, added to the night's enjoyment.

One of the few advantages of insomnia is hearing the hooting of owls, but I'm nodding of better at the moment :-)
