Very Cute Moth - Parasa chloris
Copyright © 2009 Ashley Bradford

Very Cute Moth - Parasa chloris
Alexandria, Fairfax County, Virginia, USA
July 17, 2009
Size: 1.2 cm nose to tailtip
I spotted this furry little creature near the top of my Rubbermaid potting shed the other night and couldn't tell immediately what it was. Due to its shape and the shadows, my first thought was that it might be a rather large treehopper, but when I aimed my camera at it, I could see it was this cute, very fuzzy moth.

It was easy to find "Parasa" in here searching on "green moth", but which one is it?
