I was looking through some pics from the summer and found this one. Best I remember, I pulled it out of the swimming pool dead. Anyone know what type it is?

This is the underside, with some type of large pincher at the tail end.

I think it's a Regal moth. What was it doing in your pool? Backstroke?

I think you spend too much time playing with bugs. LOL

But I think you are correct too. :)

I wish I'd have gotten pics of all the other neat critters around here. The camera isn't always handy.

Thanks Clay!
