Small Magpie Moth - Anania hortulata
Seattle, King County, Washington, USA
I think that this photo was taken 2004. It was a scanned photograph, so no digital information is attached to it. They are pretty common in Seattle, but the only photo I got this year was pretty dark & blurry. Maybe next year.
The plant it's on is the Sea Holly (Eryngium alpinum).
