Picked this Moth up on the floor in HD outside Garden today.
It was there--just quivering and fluttering its wings.
I brought it home. It is now in a small tray to do whatever it has to do.

I have been "there" with other beautiful Mohts. When I find one on the ground-
I believe it is on its "last leg"--having laid its eggs and is soon to die.
Is this a correct assumption--that is just waiting to die att his stage?

Here is a picture of it. David--i KNOW you will give me the name of it.
I have seen this one before....will add it to my collection...
