Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: We found this moth behind the garden hose. It flew off and rested on our front door. It’s been there all day. We’ve avoided using the front entrance. It’s approximately 4 inches long. Beautiful! I did a google image search and came up with black witch moth. Can anyone confirm this?
