Underwing
Moth -
Catocala cara
This huge (about 3" across) moth got
into my house one night and furiously flapped
around for awhile before settling on, of all places, the box my
camera came in.
I took a few impromptu photos and then carefully cupped the moth in
my hands and released it outdoors.
It left dark dusty smudges on me. What a beautiful creature to come
calling - but I could imagine this dark thing flapping madly
about
might be mistaken for a bat, and scare the shit out of some
folks.
Special thanks to
Bill Oehlke
for identification.
