My MOTH!

[Holly D Tunning Canfield]

Thank you Brian!!!

I do believe that is my moth!!!  I found it here :
http://www.funet.fi/pub/sci/bio/life/insecta/lepidoptera/ditrysia/noctuoidea
/noctuidae/agaristinae/psychomorpha/ for anyone else who wants to see it!!!

Thanks so much!

I'll be sticking around the Lepidoptera list.  I'm fascinated with being
able to identify everything around me!
