Nashville, Tennessee. Picture taken in late September in late evening. I
apologize for quality. I was too close to use flash (and also for the
blurriness). The moth was near a porch light which added a little
greenish tint. The moth was approximately 1 1/2" wingspan and about 1/2"
to 3/4" long in body length.
I have only an elementary guide to butterflies and moths and cannot find
this in the guide.
I note what look like bumps or almost short spikes coming out of the
back of the body (at least 6 are visible). Is this any help in
identifying the species (I cannot find this characteristic on any of the
moths in my simple little guide) -- or is this a feature that disappears
with age?
I also apologize if the photo and/or the web site is/are not adequate.
This is my very first attempt to create a web site and I may have lots
to learn yet.
