Nais Tiger Moth
Apantesis nais

Observation date: June 03, 2012
Submitted by: RiverMoon
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: I was mowing and noticed the Moth struggling in the grass near our evergreen bushes. I picked it up and placed it on the plant. The wings look as if they were damaged (the coating looks as if it was rubbed off) I will check in the morning to see if it is still hanging out on the bush. I checked on it a few times today.
