Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: A fluttering movement caught my eye. Peering through the daylily leaves (Hamlet), I saw a wasp stinging this moth. I knocked the wasp away. The moth continued to flutter its wings periodically and I started taking pictures. The fluttering movements seemed to be connected to it laying eggs. As I looked around, there were at least 3 groups of eggs. I checked on the moth periodically through the day. The picture with the slider was taken at 8:00pm when had moved to a nearby bush.
