Just a short time ago, my daughter, Katie, called me to come outside. "You've got to see this!" she said. So, I went, of course! What she had discovered was a lovely white and black moth, resting on the side of the house.
Katie carefully captured it in a specimen container so she could photograph and identify it. A few minutes later, she announced it is a Giant Leopard Moth. This is a common moth in NC, but I don't believe I have ever seen one before. Katie's photo is on the right. It was taken outside once she had place the moth back on the bricks.
Here is link that gives more pics and information about this strikingly beautiful moth.
