I'm scared.
I froze one of these. I pinned it in three different places along it's body. When I came back, it was thawed, and still alive. I dub this the zombie moth. Please save me.

Arachnis picta?
Once the identity is confirmed by one of our moth experts, we would suggest picking out the best three or four of your images for the guide, and tagging the others to Frass. No need to rush to do that now since any of the images could contain information the esperts need for ID.

Painted Arachnis, Arachnis picta
Yes! Please tell me which to keep and which can go! Maybe photo 2, 3,7. I like the one laying down with her reflection under her, but she looks like she isn't with us anymore if you know what i mean. And she very much is (outside somewhere)
