Spotted Datana? - Datana drexelii-major
Moccasin Lake, Winston, Douglas County, Georgia, USA
August 22, 2008
Size: about 30 mm
Is this Spotted Datana - Datana perspicua??? This particular moth seemed more robust and a bit larger than the Walnut Caterpillar Moth - Datana integerrima, I've been so use to seeing. Plus this one had very prominent spots on it's wings. Please confirm or correct me if I'm wrong, thank you.
