Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: This moth was laying on my deck near some flowers. It appeared very weak, and only fluttered a bit when I got near. A gust of wind blew it off the deck about 30 minutes after this picture was taken. I think it is an Io Moth - female.
I have many flower pots on my deck, but this specimen was just laying near a cluster of pots. I don't know how long it was on my deck, but most of the morning this spot was in the shade. The sun was shining on this moth when I found him.
