Submitted by: debborahm12
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Flew over from across a street where I was standing near a city transit stop. There were 2 other smaller moths flying along with it, but I only got the photo of this one as it stopped and hovered about the pink flowers on some short shrub bushes and fed. It didn't mind me photographing it at all, and I was real close to it.
