Submitted by: Lampalex
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Found this moth after it landed on my arm while stopped to fill up waterbottles on a backpacking trip. It was out in the midday full sun and heat, it seemed only concerned with drinking my sweat and didnt want to fly away. Looks like this is only the 4th example ever submitted here so that is cool!
