What a Splendid-looking Moth!
Nice image, Steven.

 
Thanks
for the kudos. There are lots of spiffy little moths around here, but I have never run into this fellow before. The shot I have of it feeding next to the Ailanthus webworm moth is really colorful.

 
You have quite a
flamboyant little party going on there... ;-)
