Imperial moth
Eacles imperialis

Observation date: July 02, 2014
Submitted by: ktmusher
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: I think this may be a female due to the strong yellow coloration. Her left wing is torn a little at the tip, so she is not flying. Can we do something to help her survive?
