Observation date: March 30, 2014
Submitted by: loiskantor
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Been watching and photographing butterflies and moths in my Texas garden for years. I have never seen this one before, or after this sighting. It was very windy, and the Mexican Buckeye tree was in full bloom. I thought it was a butterfly, but now think it might be a moth.
