049 Odd moth - Scoliopteryx libatrix
Soquel, Santa Cruz County, California, USA
June 26, 2012
The four small white dots and the contrasting metallic patches give this moth a distinctive look.

incidentally, the file with all the color and texture would have been very large had i used less compression. to get it down to under 100kb would have required a low quality of 2 out of 12!
