Butterfly/Moth Identification Help Needed
10 years ago
I saw a new butterfly or moth in my backyard today and I am not able to identify it. Thought I could get some help here. It is small, just a little bigger than a quarter. It is a light tarnish color with orange, black, and white on the edges of its wings. See photo.
