Corn Earworm Moth
Helicoverpa zea

Observation date: September 21, 2016
Submitted by: Gramercy
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Don't know whether it is a butterfly or moth. Whereas most butterflies I have observed move from flower-to-flower across the top of a shrub or flower planting, this seemed to move around the underside of the shrub (Abelia) and come into the bloom from below.
