Martha (extinct town) near Chatsworth, Burlington County, New Jersey, USA

Size: about 1/2"

I have no idea what kind of moth, but I was surprised to see it pulling a "Jesus" maneuver.

Thanks!

Thanks for the re-touch on the pic, it really does look much better. And thanks for the interest in the pic. I had no idea it was a first here, explains why I couldn't find it, well, that and my lack of experience. I sent you an e-mail a short while ago, Be Well, Jason

I cropped, resized and sharpened the photograph. Very nice first live photo of the species to be posted here. This moth is of interest as a biological control of waterlillies.

Please contact me at BPatter789@aol.com regarding permission to display on Plates at Moth Photographers Group photos of moths and larvae that you post here. Thanks, B.P.
