Diurnal moth on Clarkia breweri - Autographa californica
Parkfield Grade, Fresno County, California, USA
April 16, 2015
[Full-size image here.]

Perched here on stems of a Minuartia growing nearby to the Clarkia. I've been fortunate to get a few of these "full-ventral view" field shots of moths lately. I like them...they have a somewhat owl-like quality to my eye :-)

For more info, see comments under 1st image in this series.
