I assume this is a moth but I have never seen one before. Thanks if you can help. Cindy
CLOSED: A new moth to me.
I can't tell you for sure, but did you know there are two of them in the picture? Look just below her wing you can see his antenna! hehe I think they were under there for a reason.
These appear to be adults of the salt marsh caterpillar, Estigmene acrea (Lepidoptera: Erebidae; subfamily Arctiinae) - see http://tinyurl.com/24gvfj3 for an image.

Thank you you are right again. Actually in other photos I couldn't tell which end was what. Now that is solved.
Thank you but Suunto did all the work here. :)
Suunto is definitely the bug Geru. So smart!!!!!
LOL Agreed!!
Smart???? My wife might disagree on that point - especially when it comes to sorting laundry...
LOL No worries, as long as you are here for all our bug needs.
I know a bit about Insects but I am still learning. I wanted to share one of my hobbies! Its a little messy and i don't have them labels on them yet but I have been doing this for 8 years. But i still have some learning ahead of me!
