Really?

Bob, I took another moth picture last year and you were the one who identified it as the Tulip tree moth. This time I thought the head and antenna are different. here is the other pictures here

How come it is different?
Thanks!
Michael

I think you're right again Bob. The lighting was different maybe that's why it doesn't look the same. Don't you find the wings shorter on this one though? Must be the lighting...
