Submitted by: David Allen Jones
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Assumed this was a butterfly, but when I got home and uploaded the image to my computer and enlarged it, realized that this lepidoptera had comb-like antennae. The photo was taken in mid-afternoon, so assume it is a day-flying moth?
