Clymene Moth
Haploa clymene

Observation date: July 25, 2015
Submitted by: Jimulacrum
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Found on a cool, clear summer night, on a blooming flower cluster in a lavender shrub (also nearby: blooming zinnia, catnip, and lemon balm; non-blooming coleus and oregano). Very calm and relatively still. Willingly stepped onto my hand and then flew onto my shirt and rested for a while. I believe it's a female, as it left a cluster of many tiny white eggs (?) on my shirt.
