A Tiger Moth [Contest Finalists December 2009]
Uploaded: December 13, 2009 09:34:07
This is one of the many beautiful Missouri moths. Most people think a moth is not colorful, but some are. I believe this is a Banded Tiger Moth. ? I love the colors and the shapes of moths as much as butterflies. This was taken on my porch as he landed on my lens cover. Have a wonderful day!!
