What is this beautiful moth called? I want to learn more. Photo was taken but moth wasn't disturbed or touched. My location is southeastern Pennsylvania (Denver PA, Lancaster county).
P.S sorry about the tilted photo
Closer.
It is at the base of the tree in both photos
Leopard moth. I have them in NC too. They're my favorite.
looks like a giant leopard moth to me (i might be wrong but i'm pretty positive on this one). May I ask how big it was? These guys usually grow up to be at least 3 inches.
Here's a pic of one that i found. Hope I helped :)
Their caterpillars are adorable.
That's a Spotty Polka-Dotty Winger
