Observation notes: This large moth appeared over a fence and flew erratically around before flying lower to the ground, then landed under a smoker. The dog approached and the moth flew out, almost landing in a low woodpile, but instead flew up and finally landed under the porch. Conditions were windy, and about 90 degrees.
