Observation date: August 21, 2023
Submitted by: zeph7
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Several of these butterflies or moths were enjoying the lavender today. They were small, maybe just over 1" wingspan, and it looked like they had two pairs of wings (one partially under the other) that could sometimes be seen when stationary. Sunny day in Seattle, with only a thin layer of smoke from the forest fires after a day of heavy smoke.
