Occurrence Remarks:
Found another one but this time not in grass and not at the Southwest Nature Preserve. This one was a little bit smaller too. I don't see these that often but these things are one of my newest favorites. These guys spend a whole lot of time on the ground. This one really blends in well to the leaf litter. These guys are very cool moths. They are big and I am a huge fan of the large moths but I also like the small moths. I am just a Moth fan like @kimberlietx @sambiology and @brentano. Moths are super cool and the bigger they get the more fascinating they become. Not to get it wrong some of the smaller ones can be really interesting. This one may seem blah and drab but just the designs alone show their outer beauty as I have come to learned.
