Big white legs! - Uresiphita reversalis
Santa Cruz, Santa Cruz County, California, USA
October 17, 2015
This moth is pretty worn but I wanted to see if anyone knew it by its odd colors. It had a lot or reddish color, and the legs seemed pretty white. I was actually pretty surprised by the size, thickness, and whiteness of its femurs in the second shot.
