Observation notes: I found this little guy, or gal, on my porch this afternoon. It appears to be a moth, is reddish orange in the head region, and has a bright blue back/body. The wings are black with white tipping. It has very large antennae. I was able to get up really close with this moth, which I found quite unusual.
