Moth - Eacles imperialis
Palm Coast, Flagler County, Florida, USA
June 11, 2008
Size: at least 6" wide
I was walking back from the beach which is about 100 yards away. Going through the garage I saw this on the concrete wall and thought it was a piece of trash or even some food (looked like a mango slice). This was in the mid morning, very sunny day. What is it?
