Agreeable Tiger Moth
Spilosoma congrua

Observation date: March 31, 2024
Submitted by: debnsync
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: This beautiful moth was actually on a white towel in the laundry room, perched in still form and intact, (a miracle that I saw her!), more than likely came in the nearby door the night before, during fair weather yet some light wind gusts, clear skies, temperate conditions, 60 F low @ night then 70 F a.m. Easter Day. Released in a quiet corner of the yard on our farm where she climbed up a stem of a dandelion and seemed to be resting peacefully.
