Moth Monday: They Just Keep Coming

I went out to Santiago Oaks yesterday for the monthly Sea & Sage walk with Linette Lina. I usually try and get there a little early because the restrooms near the picnic area are a great place for insects and moths in the early morning. They probably leave the lights on over night, and various things end up perched there in the morning. Yesterday was no exception. This skittish fellow was about 2-3 cm long, and held his wings folded over his back perpendicular to the wall rather than spread out parallel to the wall like most moths do:

Perched Moth

Don’t know what it is yet. Any suggestions?

    Not cheap and you won’t have an answer until at least May, but I’ll bet that it will be in here.

    I can imagine how excited you was. The nature and its animals is really impressive. But I’m sorry, in no way I can tell you what this yet is. I don’t have any suggestions. Please tell me; i wanne know!
