Leopard Moth
Zeuzera pyrina

Observation date: June 28, 2011
Submitted by: raina.heinold
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: At first I thought this was Estigmene acrea. However, the distinct black dots on the mid section and the lack of orange under the wings made me doubt that it was. This is not a picture of the host plant. I found this one outside my work on the counter.
