Observation notes: It was 51 degrees and sunny. The firat sunny day in 4 days. Hurricane Ian casted 4 days of cold rain in the area. 2 moths were connected back end to back end. Looks to be both female. One much smaller than the other. First time seeing this they were on a stick. I thought it was one moth. When I went to lift the stick to look closer I unintentionally disconnected them. The tree closest was a maple tree.
