Imperial moth
Eacles imperialis

Observation date: August 08, 2016
Submitted by: FalconMrs1185
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: The moth was very still and didn't move from its spot all day - even when I tried to disturb it. Finally, my cat saw the moth and poked at it and the moth glided down into our flower bed. I didn't see him or her again after that.
