Since we are appreciating moths....here is a pretty interesting and probably common one. I cant remember what it is, I looked it up when I got the picture last year or the year before, and promptly forgot.( my tacks are dull also.) It reminded me of a paper airplane, and then the design looked like a stained glass fleur de lis.
I enjoy moths and have been planting evening blooming plants specifically for them. So far the 3 biggest draws are four o' clocks, moonflowers and gourds (the bottle/birdhouse type). The gourds have so many pretty white flowers that open at night and have the added benefit of giving me great birdhouses and other great useful items from the dried (fruit?) gourds. The moths pay me back by pollinating and putting on a great aerial show in the cooler hours of the night.
