Observation date: August 11, 2016
Submitted by: nefratari
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: I don't know what type of butterfly or moth this will be? Can you help? It's really fuzzy all around, with the white tufts and black and orange body. They are just hanging out and eating the leaves on this butterfly attracting plant. We don't know what type of plant it is, it came in a mixed seed bag given by Rowe Woods to help attract butterflies in the area.
