Great Leopard Moth
Hypercompe scribonia

Observation date: March 01, 2023
Submitted by: ButterBelle
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: None.
Status: Resident
Verified by: jwileyrains
Verified date: March 04, 2023
Coordinator notes: Some Pyrrharctia isabella caterpillars don't have a reddish band, but they also get less black in successive instars. So given the size of this creature (based on the bricks) I think this is more likely to be a great leopard moth.
