Underwing moth, possibly Catocala marmorata - Catocala marmorata
Litchfield Beach, Georgetown County, South Carolina, USA
June 18, 2010
Found near death on beach. Reviewing Moth Photographers Group it seems like this might be Catocala marmorata.

Photo can be used on MPG if it adds to collection there.

Thanks, Maury and Skip. Alwa
Thanks, Maury and Skip. Always good to add a new node to BG. My son should get credit for this one. He found it while we were playing soccer on the beach!

Looks like a good call to me!
Plus a good find and a first for BG. (But let's wait for the experts.)
