Alfalfa Looper Moth (Autographa californica) - Autographa californica
Bellevue, King County, Washington, USA
September 1, 2018
Previously photographed one of these in flight a few times... I believe same species, and finally find one that landed for me twice. Looper should have occured to me the second time it suddenly seemed to disappear from the flight path I was observing.
