Eight-spotted forester moth ( Alypia octomaculata ), #9314 by larose forest photos


11-JUN-2014	Christine Hanrahan

Found a patch of wild growing goutweed. This is a pretty day-flying moth, whose caterpillar is equally spectacular and more colourful.

it is a beauty...the spots seem random in shape, so there could be many subtle design variations...love the orange leg-warmers..

Pretty as a picture.

Eight is great and nine would be fine, but perfect as is this moth flitting on goutweed. V

Love his furry pants and great detail on the tonque.
