Mystery Moth

Here's a Memorial Day Weekend quiz. Who can be the first to identify this luscious-colored moth? It is often found in grasslands, and can be tucked under a bunch of grass, not flying, just ambling through the blades of grass. Good luck!

  • The most beautiful patterns and color combinations appear in nature; fiber artists often translate natural designs into quilts, knits and woven items. Wild Gulch offers much inspiration to fiber artists and others. Is tis really an Ornate Tiger Moth?

  • Well, I haven't a clue, but if I was to name it I'd call it a Stained Glass Window moth...
