Jul. 8, 2008~ Name That Moth ~ |
You know you're a homeschool mom when you're taking pictures of interesting creatures at 11:00pm so you can identify them in the morning!
That's what I was doing the other night as I brushed my teeth before turning in. I noticed the striking colour of this specimen on the pale yellow bathroom wall.
If this moth had been brown or gray, I might not have taken a picture, but it was such a pretty blue that I couldn't let it get away without a snapshot.
I never did get an accurate identification of it, I think it might be blue version of a White-Fringed Emerald (Nemoria Mimosaria), which is typically green,
or a type of Pyralid or Geometrid .
However, I did find some neat bug websites:
Bug Guide
and
What's That Bug.
Check them out if you need to identify an odd insect!
