Observation date: April 03, 2022
Submitted by: CarLin99
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: I noticed a large burnt-orange moth with two white dots on the upper portion of the wings on the screen of my kitchen window around 10AM. A few hours later I noticed a smaller one fluttering around it. Eventually, the smaller one landed beside the larger one and they attached the lower portion of their bodies.
