Observation notes: Four of these moths were found by husband on our outdoor patio during the afternoon. Two were on the patio lights, and two were on the wall. We had just recently been through Hurricane Irma. There is a broken/ fallen tree next door about 50 feet away. We believe the tree was an oak tree. The moths are just sitting there not moving.
